routines are great, but don’t need to confine you
Maybe you noticed that I didn’t publish a Daily Note a couple of days last week? The lack of publishing wasn’t because I was losing my desire to write or because the Muse stopped visiting me each day; it was because I was on spring break with Roman, four of his friends, and their dads.
There were a few mornings where I slept in a little later (8:00 being “later”) to get some additional rest, or instead of keeping to my Self to write, I hung out with the dads, helped make breakfast, or got ready to head to the beach.
I thought about the Daily Note each time, but made the conscious decision not to let the daily writing define me or my schedule.
Having a routine is great, especially if it helps to maintain your alignment of spirit, mind, body, and money. But, I think it’s healthy to allow the routine to bend from time to time. Otherwise, the routine might cause us to miss out on something we were meant to do.
Don’t feel bad if you make the conscious decision to alter your routine in for a short period of time—just be careful not to totally lose the alignment you’ve created by staying out of your routine for too long.
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
JC
