armada Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Hey everyone. Just a quick discovery for me today.I changed my routine today. Nothing crazy, I just got up an hour earlier than usual and did something constructive before work. Let me tell you it has gotten me out of the rut I was in! Nothing terrible was going on but I was stressed about a few things, feeling frustrated and tense and angry at the world in general. So I changed my routine! I am more energized, feel more focused, motivated and happier,creative, and better able to tackle those stresses. I encourage everyone to change their routine just a little and see the effect. I guess it's like getting one of those freakin' foam pillows that they have infomercials for, you know, it will make you sleep better, get a promotion, earn more money, have a better social life! Oh yeah, but my method really works, at least for me. Hope everyone has a great day and if you are feeling like your life is in a rut, give this a try!

kewlgirl Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 you are oh so right!!! not only that...but spring fever also lends a helping hand towards eradicating melancholy ugly head...taking a quiet breather outside in the sunshine sans distractions/people whenever possible is an additional boost...gotta love that energy that good ole sunshine instills in you...peas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dale77 Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 I've noticed the same thing. Chaning your daily routine makes such a difference. Even if it's just something like changing the way you walk to work.I saw a report on this and changing your daily routine or using the opposite hand you're used to using for normal tasks, like brushing your teeth or opening a door, etc. , stimulates unused brain cells...or something to that effect. It just feels really good to get out of a rut!------------------You're only young once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armada Posted April 25 Author Report Share Posted April 25 Originally posted by trancend:what did you do that was constructive?Honestly, it was something as simple as I went and worked out before work instead of after. I knew that I wouldn't get home in time to go to the gym tonight, and would subsequently feel badly about missing it. I'm not a morning person and always slept to the last possible minute with the fear that I would be tired all day if I got up earlier.I think it could be anything though that you have wanted to do. Even doing a load (ha, I said load) of laundry that you haven't gotten to, pay some bills, clean up around your house or even better start writing a short story or putting pictures in a photo album. I think it's just a matter of changing your routine and feeling accomplished! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
