Here’s the thing about routines. Yes we are more efficient because there isn’t much thought that has to go into executing whatever routine you are about to embark on. But they are so boring. Wouldn’t it be more exciting if we changed it up just a little bit?
As you get ready for your day I encourage you to be a little different even if it means being slightly uncomfortable. Even the smallest of changes can have a huge impact on our day.
If you have a daily commute to work try the following:
- Instead of driving, ride your bike. Yes it might be cold and rainy but thats ok, think about how much it’ll wake you up.
- Have a favorite coffee shop? Try a different one. Order something new and experiment.
- Take the scenic route. This one might be difficult for you city dwellers but give it a shot.
- Pick up a hitchhiker…just kidding.
The point is, by just trying new things no matter how small we can break out of our daily grind and have a little adventure in our lives. Do something everyday that scares you because this is how we grow that comfort zone. Be creative and have a story to tell at the end of the day.
