Do we all get bound by routine ..or is it just me ? I am sure its not just me . I don’t mind having a routine but it feels good when you break that and do something different for a change . Yesterday morning , I had some time on my hands, the unsaid feeling or an urge to have a different routine in the morning was knocking on me I guess .
The thought came to me while making breakfast, I thought about packing breakfast and having at school !! also I have this friend and colleague who stays occasionally at school as he lives far off . So packed in some sandwiches , sweetened rice flakes , and flask of black tea and headed out to school early . I had not informed my friend about this but it was good that he had not made any breakfast plans.
So by 8:00 we were munching away on sandwiches and sipping hot tea on the steps to the football field in the open air with sun shinning just right ( we been having heavy rains lately), talking away on subjects , school and just having a nice time .
I noticed how different I felt yesterday through out the day.There was sense of constant energy , things that usually bothered me at the back of the mind didn’t . A fresh and very energetic feeling. Breaking the routine at times really pushes your energy level . So my friends start your day ,have a different meal, meet someone you usually won’t, take a different route to work.. …….. do something different !! and have a great time !!
That was inspiring.
Excellent advice – I suspect that your friend enjoyed the programmed change in events as much as you did 🙂 There is so much happiness that can be got out of changing your routine. But sometimes it can lead to new habits, too: I decided to break my routine in January by giving up alcohol and challenging myself to walk 5 km every day for a month. In February, I had more energy and had lost a little weight, so I started running to try something new… I’ve just signed up to run my first 10K.
I definitely agree! No plans, no routine and life is more colorful ☺
Great advice to get out of a rut.
Thanks ..yeah its good. Trying to take a different route to work today ….
