Routines

I have a usual morning routine that includes getting dressed, brushing my hair, brushing my teeth, packing my lunch, and getting to the bus on time. I also have a routine of starting my homework as soon as I get home from school. They both benefit me because they keep me organized during the school week. A routine that makes me feel safe is praying to God every night before I go to bed. When a person abandons a routine or habit they recognize that the routine is controlling them. They swap in their old routine for a routine that gives them freedom and enjoyment instead of worries and fear.
