Todayβs appreciation goes to something a bit closer to home again. It is something I have avoided most of my life, and I have found it difficult to have it. Routines have always been an issue for me. Whether itβs been bedtimes, meals, work or anything else. Routines have been a hardship for me to maintain, even though I know itβs important for me to maintain them. I am not trying to establish good and healthy routines including bedtimes, meals, chores, writings, activities regarding learning, meditationΒ and arts and crafts. I am up every morning, and I try to be in bed at roughly the same time every evening, I eat three meals a day and the occasional snack in the evening. I try to avoid indulging in anything, and I try to motivate myself throughout the day with tiny acts of kindness.Β
It is hard, I will admit that. After 36 years of zero longterm routines, itβs a big ship to turn around. But I feel it is helping – or Iβm at least telling myself that it is – and itβs something Iβm determined to achieve and establish in my life.Β
