Developing a Rhythm

I am not a person that likes routine.

In fact, I have been known to say that I hate it. I don’t like the idea of being predictable. If flows counter-intuitive to the way that I see myself. Even though I am always looking for ways to improve myself, building a new routine is not something I place on my list.

Then by happenstance I heard it phrased a different way.

Develop a rhythm for your life

Rhythm is something I can understand. It doesn’t feel predictable like routine, instead it feels more like comfort. That I can do. And that has been my attempt over the past week. I can’t say for sure that it is going well. My plans always seem to get dashed. But I can say that the concept of building and sticking to a rhythm to my life is soothing( I know….I couldn’t think of a better word that actually expresses how I feel).

I am not the only one who feels this way, check out this article that talks about rhythm vs routine.

More than that, I think that with so much change going on in my life, a rhythm is exactly what I feel I have been missing.

So…for anyone out there like me who hates routine, why not look into developing a rhythm instead? Kind of like creating a soundtrack to the way you live your life. That sounds way more fun doesn’t it?
