My response to today’s question may miss the mark, but it’s the only answer I have…
The routine I have in place brings a bit of structure into each day, which in turn makes me feel safe. There are a couple of elements throughout the day, that I could happily do without, no doubt about it. But skipping either one would shake up the entire carefully established construct. I would not do myself a favor. Instead I try not to be grumpy, or complain about having to do those chores. The wise words “fake it until you make it” help a lot.
What I would gladly love to skip are unexpected and unplanned situations or things to be done. Why? Because I lack the flexibility to just go with the flow and with it, the ability to rearrange my day accordingly if the need arises, because of my established routine. It’s a bit of a vicious cycle, no?
