When you were born you had to learn how to communicate in order to get your needs met. You start to say words so that those around you can better understand what you want and need. Most people continue to learn more verbiage as they grow to be better understood. It’s a lifetime process.
You study for a driving test so that you can become a license driver of a car, a boat, a motorcycle and other modes of transportation. You start this process around fifteen or sixteen and from there you drive for the rest of your life.
As you enter the halls of learning, you learn your ABC’s and all of the subjects that have been placed to help you navigate through life such as Math, English, and History. This pattern continues for at least thirteen years and some go for an additional four or five more to obtain a higher degree. Some make it a life-long learning habit.
Each one of these life processes requires a routine. Routines are meant to establish daily patterns in your life leading you to move down paths that will help you accomplish your goals. Routine can help you to work on automatic pilot doing those things that keep our routines alive and flourishing.
Once the routine has been firmly established, add it to your routine lifestyle; embellishing it with periodical tune-ups just as a car needs a tune up with its parts replaced every now and then, so it is with your routines. Some of the things you do become obsolete. When these routines are no longer functional for what you want to accomplish, replace them with new behaviors and new thoughts. Improve or update the process when necessary. Plod the course you want to take and make the routine something you can do on a continuous basis.
