You hear a lot about routines and most about them are positive. But sometimes it can do some harm, here are a few routine traps you can fall into:

Time Doesn’t Match- If you get too fixated on a routine and the time doesn’t match, you can find yourself missing a lot. Missing workouts, missing journaling because it’s not at the time you want it. Listen, life will happen, sometimes you have to squeeze that workout in a little later than usual. Don’t let a routine stop you from doing what must be done.

Can Lead To Boredom- Setting routine everyday can lead to boredom. No one can stick to the same old routine and not get sick of it. It’s always good to mix things up, keep it exciting. For example, you can change up your workout routine, this way you not just going through the motions.

Can Become Stressful- At times a regular routine can having you stressing if you happen to miss it. You start to beat yourself over the head, making the situation even worse. If you learn to adapt to life instead of being rigid, you can find peace of mind.

I’m not knocking routines, they can be great, but you got to realize not everything will go as planned. Being able to be change up when life throws you curveballs is your best bet. Keep your routine, but don’t let them control you.
