interrupt your routines
Routines and rituals keep us grounded and it saves us time. It’s predictable and we love predictability. What we don’t love is interrupting it. But, our brains need this pause, this interruption in order to experience something new.
You might gain new knowledge, you might be given an opportunity to laugh or cry or be inspired or even mesmerized. You never know.
Practice your routines, but don’t live in them. Once in a while take a pause and do something different.
