Break The Cycle ( Archived) (29)

Do you live your life by a daily routine?

Or do you choose to BREAK THE CYCLE?

Studies show that many Americans do the exact same thing everyday, and tend to have routine preferences.

90% -Will always park in the same row everytime at groucery store.
85%- Tend to always use the same restroom/ stall at work or school.

Do you believe in having a daily routine?

Pros & Cons?

I'm not sure it's a belief of mine, more than I just do

things the same way, often. It fits my comfort level, I

guess. Sometimes I will notice that I'm doing that and

will deliberately change something but then I'll opt to

go back to the old routine because it turns out to be

more efficient. And, that is because I'm so used to doing

things in the same ole way. oooh, when I think about it

now, I'm like one of those lab rats that have been conditioned

to do things in a certain way.

It’s not just a matter of avoiding risks.

It’s also a matter of having gotten it down to a science.

I mean, once you’ve figured out an efficient way to do something why go back to trial and error again?

There’s a huge difference between mindlessly falling into a boring rut, and purposefully honing your efficiency.

If you’re doing the former perhaps you should think about a change. If you’re doing the latter why change? You found a system that works well, it’s not a rut, it’s ‘being efficient’.

I eat at only a very select few restaurants in my town. Three to be exact, even though there are several dozen restaurants around. The fact of the matter is that I enjoy their food. They’re consistent and I always enjoy my meal. Why break the cycle to go off and try things that I may not like? In fact, in my case I can pretty much guarantee that I won’t like them because having tried them in the past and being disappointed it how I honed myself down to the three that I now use.

In other words, my ‘cycle’ isn’t a ‘rut’, but rather it’s the end result of efficiency honing.

omg!!! if these stats are true.....how scary is that!!! SHEEP baaaaaaaaaaaa baaaaaaaaaaa


let's play follow the leader ....watch me jump off this tank and shoot all the little brown people.....

I hate monotony and routine...So as much as I can.....I try to mix things up!!!!!!!!!

Well in the morning it's the same routine...

Wake up...start coffee..work out for a half hour...take shower...drink coffee... go to work....check mail on CS.... leave work...hang out with kiddo

the rest....

Well other than talkin to all the CS homies is about as spontaneous as is gets

Park at the same place at the store...? nope

The only thing I can say about the pros and cons is that if I stick to the morning "routine" I don't have to worry about getting stuck in traffic

But if I lived my life by the same routine every day
I think I would get bored quickly

Although I do feel that some routines are necessary ... especially if you have children

and quit taking jabs at me then!!! and find back your sense of humour

my sense of humor is alive and well...but you know when you call me a sheep,I'm gonna get mad...hugs to ya
