There
should be an easy rhythm to daily life. When everything is going
smoothly, you feel in sync with your surroundings. There's a sense
of peace, joy, accomplishment, and satisfaction with yourself. That
comfort level isn't easy to maintain, however, because circumstances
have a knack of changing just when you think you're on the perfect
path.
Having
basic routines can help you feel more in control of your time. And
that's less stressful, too. This isn't to say that life should be a
strict, boring and monotonous set of rules. If you make a habit of
scheduling necessary activities, you can easily respond
to anything else that comes your way. Following routines can
actually help you become more flexible, which allows you to enjoy
precious
free time.
You
shouldn't have to rush wildly through every week, cramming in more
than you can possibly handle. Set your own itinerary, whether you
like a fast pace or a more leisurely journey. Filter out what
really doesn't matter. Simplify your home and your schedule to fit
your expectations, not those of others. Fill your time
with the things, people, and activities that make you smile.
