Routine is good for building habits. For aligning with momentum. For compounding growth.
Change is good for building richness. For exploring new paths. For resiliency training.
Sure, go to work. But have you ever tried to build a side-hustle?
Sure, workout every morning. But have you ever tried a martial arts class?
Sure, have family dinners. But have you ever tried ordering food from a different city (yes, you can do that)?
Sure, have date night. But have you ever made a random night into a date?
Sure, have travel plans. But have you ever just called a friend and taken them on a spontaneous hike?
If your life is feeling too monotonous or boring… it’s because it probably is! Add in some spice and give yourself something to look forward to, ponder over, or get challenged with.
And if your life is feeling too crazy or unhinged… it’s because it probably is! Ground yourself into ritualistic practices that you can look forward to every day, without fail, that can be done even on your busiest days.
Life is best lived in balance. And getting this even just a little more right can make things feel a lotta bit more better.
