Embrace a routine from "summary" of Living with the Monks by Jesse Itzler

When we wake up at the same time every day, our body gets used to it. Routine helps us become more efficient, because our body knows what to expect and can adjust accordingly. It's like training a muscle - the more you do it, the stronger it gets. By embracing a routine, we free up mental space for more important things. When we don't have to waste time deciding what to wear or what to eat for breakfast, we can focus on our goals and priorities. Routine allows us to automate the mundane tasks in our day, so we can spend our energy on the things that really matter. Monks understand the power of routine. They follow a strict schedule every day, from waking up early to meditating to working in the garden. This structure gives them a sense of purpose and discipline that carries over into every aspect of their lives. Creating a routine doesn't mean being rigid or inflexible. It's about establishing a framework that works for you and allows for some flexibility. It's about finding a balance between structure and freedom, so you can make the most of your time and energy. When we embrace a routine, we create a rhythm in our lives that brings us peace and stability. It's like a comforting melody that plays in the background, giving us a sense of grounding and security. Routine helps us stay focused and motivated, even when things get tough. So, don't be afraid to embrace a routine. It may seem daunting at first, but the benefits far outweigh the challenges. Start small, with just one or two habits that you can incorporate into your daily life. Soon enough, you'll see how routine can transform your days and help you reach your full potential.
