when we fall into routine, weβre often choosing a pattern of behavior that feels self-protective and familiar. These patterns are built on old adaptations we made to feel safe in our early environment. Routines are great for guaranteeing a certain level of predictability. But, there are some things in life that simply can’t be predicted.
If you’re like most people, you fall into a certain groove each and every day. You grab your coffee at 8:15 AM on the dot. You hop on the train for your commute. You check your emails. Then, you get started on a larger project. That order of events came about rather naturally, because–at one point–it worked really well for you. But, as you already know, things change. And, in a perfect world, your routine should change along with them.
Unfortunately, this is a trap that’s all too easy to fall into. You do things day in and day out, simply because you’ve always done them. However, if you were to stop for a second and ask yourself, “Why am I doing this?” you couldn’t really come up with a solid answer–other than, “Well, because I always do.”
If you can no longer see the value in what you’re doing, that’s typically a telltale sign that you’re doing it out of habit, rather than necessity.
