Same Old Routine? Change It!
Wellness Topics
Something as simple as getting up a half hour earlier can set the stage for new possibilities and growth opportunities.
Change. The very word itself causes some people to tremble. These are people who like status quo, day in and day out. They like routines. They like to know what to expect and when to expect it. And God forbid if someone throws them a curve ball - they simply have no clue how to act with any type of spontaneity.
They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. If you keep on doing what you’re doing, you’ll just keep getting what you’re getting! So try changing it up a bit every once in awhile. You can start small with some of these suggestions:
• Take a different route to work – Is your car on autopilot every morning when you leave for work? Try taking a different route and maybe you’ll see something you’ve never seen before!You can’t get to where you want to go if you’re standing still. Start somewhere and you’ll soon see that breaking out of your old routine can actually be quite fun!
• Try using your non-dominant hand – If you’re right-handed, try to eat, write, open a door or jar, dust or vacuum with your left hand. You might actually find it entertaining!
• Re-arrange your furniture – Have you lived in the same house for umpteen years and the furniture has never been moved at all, in any room? Start with one room and move the furniture around – you’ll discover that may just get a fresh perspective and hide a well-worn area of your rug!
• Try one new healthy food a week – Doesn’t eating the some things week in and week out get stale? The Internet is loaded with healthy, weight-conscious recipes – try one on for size!
• Get up a half hour earlier each morning – There’s lots of things you could do with that time – read, meditate, watch the sun come up, get a jump start on your email and make your children a hot breakfast.
