Every day we have so many options.  You may not realize it, because you are mentally caught up in believing that your routine is required.  You have to get up at a certain time, you have to make lunches, you have to go to work, and your “have to’s” can continue.

Those “have to’s”  have become your routine.  They do not dictate who you are or who you are becoming.

Your routine can be changed.  It can be creatively modified.  Get up 15 minutes earlier and do some stretching exercises, see how that makes you feel.  Make lunches the night before.  Decide how to make your day on the job more interesting.  Get serious about some specific goal that you are thinking about, and modify your day to fit in some small steps related to that goal that are achievable.

You don’t need to feel defeated if you didn’t accomplish all you set out to do in one day.  There are many things happening.  You may get pulled in directions that you didn’t expect, and feel irritated when that happens.  Embrace it.  Your routine gets changed for you when that happens.

Handle the unexpected with a smile, but do not lose sight of where you intend to go.  No excuses for not eventually reaching your goal…find a way!  You have all the power.  You are amazing.  You can do it!
