I have been trying to purposefully break patterns and routines for many years. Figure I can't expect different results doing the same things.

I look at everything I do and dissect it and see if I can do it a better way, a more efficient way, or maybe decide it's something to discard altogether. I think it's a process anons kind of do naturally as we process info and input.

As I go thru the day I am trying to not be on auto pilot if that makes sense, trying to notice details and things I may be missing. Lately I've been driving new routes, down different streets, exploring new places. In my mind I had this crazy thought that near the boundaries of my daily routine it may be more pixelated, perhaps the matrix less defined. I know it sounds out there, but almost feel like I am searching for the cracks so I can pry them open and break out.

Today I tried soursop tea instead of coffee, it's filled with antioxidants and is anti-inflammatory. The fine tuning of life continues. ;)

Thank you for sharing your approach. It makes sense to me. I often feel constrained doing things the same way. Husband loves fixed routines, feels best without changes. There is an inertia against change.

Thanks. My husband is routine oriented as well and he is stuck in the old ways. We eat completely different and our mindsets differ too. I understand where you are coming from. ;)
