Routine

Phone alarm goes off, my day begins. I get on the computer to check on any overnight emails that may have trailed in. Get in the shower, take a moment to scrub off the sleepy feeling. Get ready for work. Scurry around from APPT to APPT. In between I will stop to work on paperwork, correspondence, etc. Conclude the work day, go to yoga. This is the outline of my day.

Have you ever noticed that anything which interrupts your natural daily (established) pattern throws you off a bit. Sometimes the interruption can be positive but we constantly resist changing our daily routine. The reason I mention this relies simply on the fact that these routines are definitely a great way to establish a pattern, but do not allow you to be spontaneous when other situations arise. At times you will find yourself in a box with no doors, living in a constant state of duress. The fact is, life changes constantly, and those who are able to adapt to the changes with out being frazzled are far more capable of expanding their experiences and perhaps success. I believe individuals fall into a self deprecating routine which ultimately doesn't allow room for encouraging changes.

The next time you find yourself in a tizzy, figure out what fell out of your established pattern and take a deep breath. Realize that your ability to go with the flow at times is essential to your stress free survival. Stop worrying about how your plan for the day, your life, your relationship, proceeded off track, perhaps GOD had something else in mind. :)

"Then you will walk safely in your way; And your foot will not stumble." PROVERBS 3:23
