The ROUTINE that makes me PRODUCTIVE, SUCCESSFUL & HAPPY (time to glow up)
There are so many types of routines and tricks to stick to a fresh routine that you learned from an aesthetic video. However, just after a few weeks (days in my case), we fall back to our normal life cursing ourselves for not being able to stay consistent.
But wait! Why is it that you are not able to follow a routine that made you believe- life can be a fairytale if only you keep following this new cute routine?
The reason I believe is simple - not all days are similar. You cannot feel over-enthusiastic just when your alarm rings in your ears, not all days are going to be your best days, and not all days you would want to follow a routine because you are on a mission to change your life.
Some days you just want to stay a little longer on your bed to take a breath, feel the warmth of your cozy blanket, listen to your heart, be lazy or maybe just think about someone you shared the same bed with. That’s what I believe being a human means.
I tried a lot! After watching some new routine on a random video of a random person, I somehow developed a mindset that I have to get up early every day to challenge life. But I failed miserably. I couldn’t just stick to any one routine for a prolonged period of time. WHY?
Because as I said, not every day is going to same. Some days you want to get up before your alarm rings while the other days, you just want to keep lying on your bed as if you are cuddling with your blanket (single people?)
After understanding the simple philosophy, I broke the cycle of adopting any particular routine suggested by someone else and rather started listening to my own body to guide me. Because, the bottom line is, everyone is different, hence, what is working for them may not work for me. Besides, I really don’t want to build my life based on someone else’s routine just because it looks aesthetic and cute.
So, here are some simple yet practical aspects of building a routine that helped me to stay productive, and happy. Before you judge yourself on the basis of someone else’s routine, take a look at what a successful routine looks like:
