Challenging our routines

All of us have them, but how often do we challenge their usefulness?

Routines allow us to do things quickly and efficiently, make us feel comfortable with our environment and existence and generally take us through life, but what happens when a routine becomes a barrier to change?

We allow our habits and routines to prevent us from making a different choice, from trying something new, from changing, from losing weight, from exercising more, from (fill in your own blank here).

So as Spring approaches (Autumn in the Northern hemisphere) it is time to clean out those habits- or at least challenge them and to think through your routine and decide which bits are helpful and which are not.

I will be swapping my habitual pre work coffee in front of the computer for 10 mins of meditation. Although the coffee is lovely I don't need that extra 10 mins in front of the computer- the jobs will still get done, and I don't seem to be able to find the time to meditate, and 10mins is better than 0mins.

What will you change?
Let me know.

Practice makes perfect with communication too.

In particular I started thinking about a topic which has come up and awful lot this week, communication. Why is it that we usually wait until communication breaks down before we do something about it? But instead what if we decided to proactively practice our communication.

Your challenge is to sit together in a room for more than 30 mins and have a 'real' conversation, that is a conversation where you learn something about someone else in the room, about what they think or believe.

Busy being busy?

I'm not sure if you have noticed but everyone is busy or at least they tell us they are busy. "Good thanks" has been superseded by "Oh you know, busy," as the standard response to "How are you?" But is it really the case are people really as busy as they think, or have we just filled our day up with stuff, which we could survive without doing? When was the last time you did a spring clean, not of your belongings but of your time habits? The last time I checked in with my time habits, I managed to save about 5hrs a week, in things I had just fallen into doing since the last time I checked. A TV show that I sat and watched, which I really didn't enjoy, and which was rubbish. Checking and responding to emails as they come in rather than in a block. Social networking with people I am not likely to ever have a real conversation with. Sending 5 text messages backwards and forwards, rather than making 1 quick phone call. And what do...
