Your Routine Is Boring You - Let's Fix That
A Fresh Week Reminder: Your Routine Is In Your Hands x
February 17, 2025 | Issue No. 10
Our routines shape our days—and whether we want to admit it or not, they’re either something we look forward to, or they feel like a list of obligations. Either way, it’s easy to forget how much control we actually have over them. Lately, I’ve been thinking about how even the smallest shifts can change how we experience our daily lives. So, I want to invite you into an opportunity to reimagine yours.
If You’re Bored with Your Routine…
Swap one habit for something that excites you—listen to a short podcast or your favorite album while you shower or do your skincare in the morning.
Move things around—if your morning feels stale, play musical chairs with your routine. Bring a favorite ritual from your evening, like stretching, to your morning routine for a few minutes.
Add a tiny joy—light a candle, use a fancy mug, or spray a beautiful perfume before you dash out of the door.
If You’re Exhausted and Can’t Get to Your Routines…
Shrink them—two minutes of deep breathing counts. So does stretching while your coffee brews.
Stack them—attach something small to what you’re already doing, like reading your favorite affirmation from your bathroom mirror while you brush your teeth.
Release the pressure—some days, the only routine you need is just rest.
If You’re Inspired to Add Something New…
Keep it small—sip tea outside for five minutes, take a short walk, or start your day with one line in a journal.
Plan ahead—set out your book, workout clothes, or water bottle the night before.
Let it be flexible—your new routine doesn’t have to happen at the same time every day to be meaningful.
Remember, this is your time, your week, your energy. You get to choose how you spend it. Those very small steps you decide to make? They count. What’s one small way you’re transforming your daily routine? Leave a comment below—I’d love to hear.
Sending you love all week long,
Yasmine
