The Comfort Trap: When Routines Start Limiting You

13 days ago

Routines are often going to be one of those particular things and our life that definitely happened to have a lot of role to play and they are going to be something that people are going to talk a lot about and will try to believe that it is going to be something that is going to be necessary to have as it is going to be giving us that required amount of direction that we need in our everyday life.

And as humans, we are also going to be liking the fact that there is a certain pattern under Rhythm that we are following, and it is going to be giving as a sense of comfort about knowing what is going to be the particular asked that we are going to face and do next and not having any kind of uncertainty that we have to face.

However trying to follow a very fix schedule or routine is going to be also raising another question about the fact that if it is something that is going to become a particular reason for us to be limited by it as it is not going to be empowering us because we are going to be following a simple set of things that we are doing over again which definitely is a particular thing that we need to think about.

The life that we all are living can definitely be quite unpredictable and be might never be actually very much aware of the fact that what is going to be the next thing that we are going to face and in the middle of all of this having a routine is going to be giving us that sense of stability which makes it something that is going to be keeping us away from any kind of uncertainty and also giving us the pressure of deciding that point of time when we are facing it because we are already aware of what is going to be this we are going to face and we are going to having that amount of comfort before hand.

But the thing that we don't really realise at a bigger picture is going to be above the fact that all of this is something that is going to be giving us a sense of stability and that is alright but at the same time it is going to be something that can be giving us that illusion that we are making some sort of progress but in reality what we are actually doing is just repeating the same thing over and over again and that is going to be something which definitely is not going to be helping us to move ahead.

But at the same time there are a lot of things that are actually going to be very much helpful for us if we are doing them in a very scheduled manner as progress is going to be something that is slowly getting compounded over our small actions which we are doing at a consistent level which is something that routine is going to be helping us achieve as well because they can be also many such situation in our life when we are not even able to maintain a certain pace in terms of our efforts and schedule is going to be helping us put that in.

We actually need to figure out the perfect balance among everything that we do because doing something over a long period of time can definitely have its own set of benefits that it has to offer in terms of growth, but ultimately, we also need to make sure that it is not going to become something that we are getting stagnated in.

The ultimate goal that we have is obviously going to be to make growth and our life and to ensure that we should always be looking forward towards making it happen and if it requires for us to be making a schedule then we should make it and also ensure that we are following but once it starts to feel something that is to repetitive and is giving us nope sense of progress we should immediately leave it and make sure that we are doing what we feel is going to be pushing us forward.

In the end life is something that is going to definitely required a bit of structure that we need to maintain which can definitely be allowed because of following routines as it is going to be giving a massive support in that regard but at the same time we also need to make sure that we are not getting stuck to it all the time and exploring other options as well because doing something for a really long period of time might be actually not the right choice.
