RE: Macchiata's Version of Do You Keep a Routine? | Bonus a link to printable schedule!
Oh yeah, I keep a routine. It brings me balance, even when I wobble far from the schedule–it returns me to a state of "ease." I'm with you in believing routine is a secret to health and well-being. In fact, there was a four-year period in my life when I dealt with chronic migraines (headache every day), and along with that came depression, etc. And I managed to work my way to freedom by embracing a schedule for sleeping and eating. Now, I'm a dad, with three little ones, and the years of practice in keeping routines is a major advantage in my family life.
@cabelindsay, oh glad to have a visit from my ocd brother. I've been through the same and I am still a mess but it's been good overtime. I tried various techniques and I recently found one that clicks on me which is like the PDF I linked above. Especially if you're a family man, well it's super important to keep a routine, else it'd be very overwhelming.
Happy to hear your routine is clicking. Yeah, I relate with that feeling of overwhelm, and clutter, and chaos. Each day for me is a practice in being peaceful in myself and extending that peace toward my family, like bringing calm waters to a rocking boat.
