Monday Aug. 28, 2006 - Year 4, Day 160 - start your week with dramatic change
11C/52F, steady breeze, clear (30C predicted); Gusta seems so routine in our morning walks – time for a new route to disrupt the familiar routine
I am about 90% habit, practice & routine – so stepping outside that box always feels weird
7 days ago I started my week with a trip, mostly business, some pleasure – a routine breaker to be sure
this morning I wonder what I can do to disrupt this week too!
why?
why not?
that disruption of routine, of habit; is unsettling at first - energizes, animates, ruminates & produces incalculable results
that was my experience last week
what are you going to turn on its head this week?
why not?
what do you have to lose?
what might you gain?
if you haven’t picked something yet, do it soon or the opportunity to change the course of your entire week (or maybe your life) might be missed, forcing you to wait another week to try it
on second thought, why is Monday the first day of the week?
if you want the week to start on another day, why not; who will know you changed it for you?
thrive, be alive, don’t merely survive; decide instead that it is time for a new route to disrupt the familiar routine – you might be amazed at how much energy a simple decision like that generates
have a great week, whenever you choose to start it; just break your routine & hang on for the ride
