In the sense that as a society, we are being taught that consistency is good, being sporatic (especially with our diets) is bad. But is there such a thing as being TOO consistent? TOO stuck in a routine? For me, it's a resounding yes, and the only way to break free is to MAKE MYSELF do something differently. Try something new, PROVE that change is not bad!

I've been terrible about eating on the run lately, so I have taken to lighting candles at dinner every night--its a small thing, but it makes dinner seem a little bit special and the lighting and blowing out are nice ways to bookend the meal.

It tends to put me in a bad frame of mind while getting ready in the morning, and I want to start my day thinking positively. So that's this week's goal - no checking work email until I am on the train.

I get so anal about it, that it's almost bad, especially in winter. I don't know, something about the shorter days...it helps keep me sane. hahaha, I’m not a Steeler lady, but I love my routine!

This causes alot of stress and missing out on plans b/c it doesn't fit in with my structure. I need to learn how to break out of this!

I have a bad habit of eating off of paper towels instead of plates. Actually, I have a lot of bad routines... it's easier to make small, gradual changes over time than trying to totally overhaul a routine overnight. Yea for breaking out of your rut, Rose!!
