This month’s card comes with an encouragement that it’s ok, in fact it’s preferable, to try doing things in new ways.
If you’ve found yourself feeling stifled, bored…or you’re aware that you’ve been living your life in a very tight and inflexible way, it might be time to loosen up the reins and give yourself a chance to do things a little differently.
What that looks like will be different for every individual, but the essence of it is found in examining the areas of your life where you tend to not budge. Where a way of doing things, or thinking about things, has become so ingrained that you don’t ever consciously challenge why it’s the way it is.
It might be as simple as changing up your morning routine a little – doing things in a different order – or changing things entirely!
Maybe there’s one way you always drive to work, or one day of the week you always buy your groceries. See what happens if you play around with things a little and break the pattern.
When you give yourself permission to do things differently you are sending a message to your system that change is not only possible, but it’s freeing!
You may find if you begin to make adjustments to your patterns and routines that you experience a kind of lightness that comes with breaking the mould. An expansion that courses through you when you realise that something isn’t so familiar to you that it’s become automatic.
You open your senses to an awareness of the world around you.
You notice a new cafe because you drove a different way, or you bumped into someone you love because you did your groceries on a different day.
Routine can creep up on you, and is often driven by a sense of judgments or rules that you’ve self imposed and that don’t really support your joy.
Maybe it’s because you think a “good person” always keeps their house immaculate, therefore you have to clean before you leave the house. Or perhaps you feel that you have to put yourself together in a certain way in order to be acceptable to the outside world.
What if you didn’t do it?
Whatever the thing is, what if you just decided that you could try doing things a different way?
Just once.
Just to see what it was like.
