Changing things up

I had a nice week and weekend to myself as Sophia was visiting a friend in Paris. I ended up cooking some amazing meals for myself, worked out a lot and practiced my golf game. As much as I missed having her around, it was really nice to change things up on my routine and do something a bit different at home.

For example, I hadn’t challenged myself to cook something new in a long time. Sophia usually handles most dinners and then I’ll come in and cook one of my go-to recipes once a week or so. Given that I was on my own this week, I ended up picking a bunch of new recipes and challenging myself. I almost forgot how much I did enjoy cooking.

It was a nice reminder to myself that it’s really good to change things up from time to time.

I’ve become a bit of a creature of habit lately. Doing the same workouts every week, going to the office and coming home at the same time, watching the same shows weekly, etc. While habits can be good, I feel like things have gotten a bit stale and it’s time for some changes.

I’ll look to switch things up a bit in the coming weeks. Different kinds of workout classes. Working from different locations when I can. Doing activities on weekdays. Cooking more. Change is often good and I’m looking forward to it.
