I Alter My Routine

Most of us have some routine in our lives and many of us do not function well without it. In truth, routine is mostly about maintaining a false sense of safety, security and control. What, then, happens when we change our routine, even slightly? Do we experience discomfort? The negative aspect of routine is that life may become automatic. We are so used to everything being a certain way that we forget to show up; in fact, showing up becomes unnecessary. Instead there is a cardboard cut-out eating breakfast and brushing its teeth. And the cut-out doesn't notice or really experience the beauty of each moment, or anything at all! Then suddenly life is over, and we weren't ever even there...
Make one change to your routine today. Shake things up a bit! Notice what you experience. Are you more aware?
