Yesterday I broke the work routine. I skipped out a little early to go to Disneyland! It felt so nice to be out mid-week, mid-day and enjoying some time with my husband, in-laws, nieces and nephew. I got to thinking about how we are creatures of habit and routine. This starts as soon as we are born, I've been told by my friends with babies that as long as those little ones are on their routine they are happy. Once their routine is broken...we all know what happens, the crying begins.
I like to think that I have grown up and out of needing a routine, but my life is still one big routine.
I work full-time Monday through Friday
I tutor after work two times a week
I have Mutual for church once a week
I go to the gym on the other 2 days
It leaves very little room in my life for spontaneity. We try and and go somewhere new and different on the weekend to fill that adventure void I long for during the week.
What do you do to break up the routine?
