Have you ever felt like you were just running bases every day? Doing the same thing over and over, up, work, home, bed.... routine.. you could do it with your eyes closed..
What happens if your routine changes? Does your day get turned upside down or do you relish the thought and go with the flow? For much of my life I got all twisted inside, disoriented and ended up clumsy and all over the map when my routine got out of sync.. now... not so much....
I believe that the one constant in our lives is knowing that change is going to happen.. brace yourself.... any minute of any day at any time! One just never knows when life will throw you a curve ball and you will need to jump to catch it or swing with all your might to hit it...
Today, I woke up at 4:45am... ya I know... I am not an early bird for anything ever.... but today I just could not get back to sleep, thinking, rolling around trying to get comfortable, moving the dog, listening to my honey snore like he was never going to get air again and I could not get back to sleep... I got up after 2 hours of laying there.. took the dog out (even he went back to bed) and started cooking and cleaning the kitchen... all the while I was thinking... hmmmmm quiet time to think about the day.
.this is definately not my routine.. At first I didnt know what to do, I walked around grabbed a drink then thought how lovely it was to be up with no noise, peaceful silence except in my head.... My thoughts went to how I love to think, all by myself, think and plan... I love it, it fills me up when I find the answers to what I am confused or worried about... I like being by myself to search deep into my own thoughts and find solutions or maybe just a song playing in the background...
Then I realized here I am stepping out of my routine and doing something different and I am still here, still kicking, the world did not come to an end and I didnt turn into a pumpkin... how cool is that...
The highlight for me was understanding that no matter how it happens - routine or no routine I will still get to home base every time... the trick is to enjoy the disruptions in your day... listen to them - for they could contain a message so profound the only way you will hear it is if you are silent and out of routine!
Have an awesome day!
