Changing up my routine

When I’m working, I’m a creature of habit and like my set routines in order to be as efficient as possible. I go into the office Monday-Thursday and try to be at my desk at 8am. I work out in the afternoons or early evenings and do the same class once or twice a week. Sophia and I cook our workday meals at home, and then finish up work or lounge on the couch watching TV.

Recently, I’ve been feeling that things have been a bit stale. I don’t like doing too much on weekdays to make sure I get enough rest to be efficient at work so my weekdays can seem a bit just boring.

This past week I decided to change things up a bit. Instead of my traditional running class on Wednesdays, I decided to get 9 holes in after work with some friends. On Thursday, we went out to a casual dinner instead of cooking at home. It’s minor changes, but I sit here writing this on Friday and feel a bit more energized heading into the weekend.

It’s a good reminder for myself that I need to go out and enjoy life a bit more and change up my routines from time to time on the weekdays. I hope to try new things in the future like new workout classes or other hobbies.
