Break The Daily Routine

By:


A routine is a magical thing in a performance such as ice skating. In everyday life, it can suck the proverbial soul out of you. If you find yourself in a rut, you need to break the routine.

Movies and books often suggest that a person in a rut has a sudden inspirational moment that changes them forever. Sorry, it doesn't really work that way for most people. Instead, it comes from recognizing you are in a routine and moving beyond it.

There is an old axiom about life going on all around us, yet we don't notice. If you get caught up in the repetition of your life, it can often become pure drudgery. You need to open your eyes to the world.

So, how do you beet the rut that daily life can become. Again, it is in the small things. Stepping beyond your daily routine is the way to do it. Here are a list of little things that anyone can do and will jumpstart you.

1. Go see a random band.

2. If you are interested in someone, walk up and talk to them.

3. Recognize the value of time. Your fears today will probably mean nothing in a year.

4. Laugh at yourself.

5. Kiss your kids.

6. Kiss your spouse or partner.

7. Go see a comedian. Laughing is good for you.

8. In the shower, clear you mind and enjoy the hot water.

9. Acknowledge you are in a rut.

10. Grab a friend and go go-carting.

11. Stop reading fiction and focus on non-fiction. You will be amazed at what people have accomplished.

12. Analyze what famous people have over come. Richard Pryor's parents were a pimp and prostitute.

13. Take a class in something you are interested in.

14. Write a check to yourself for some large amount and then set a goal of having that amount in some number of years.

15. Do a search on YouTube for running bear and watch the video. If you don't double over in laughter, see a doctor immediately.

16. Stop worrying about what you cannot control.

17. Watch the movie Rudy, even if you hate sports.

18. Watch the movie March of the Penguins even ifwell, you hate penguins.

19. Read a biography on Mother Teresa.

Some of these things will work for you while others may not. The point is not so much the list, but the idea you need to branch out in your life. Life is not about routine. It is about much, much more. Go find out!
