Journal prompt week of May 8, 2011

So often when we are trying to learn something new or Implement change, routine is necessary. For example, trying to incorporate exercise, change of diet or even writing a book can require maintaining a strict routine. Over time routine can actually hamper creativity. Sometimes it is helpful to mix up the routine and try something different. This week look at what you do on a routine basis. Does it still inspire you? Or are you on autopilot? Try mixing up your day. If you drive the same route to work then go a different way. If you always cook the same meal on certain days of the week, change that around. If you follow a rigid exercise routine mix it up. See if change refreshes you and brings you more inspiration. Record the results in your journal.
