Here’s my routine:
M-F: Drink from the corporate fire hydrant.
S-S: Recover! (Or, more of the same.)
–A, working to change things, one moment at a time. : )
Well, on the bright side: it’s consistent and predictable. Not exactly a pattern nature would have designed, but it’s a start!
What is missing in this masterfully minimalist routine, is having the activities revolve around your interests. So the first question YOU have to answer is, what would you like to be doing if you could find an alternate stream to drink from, instead of the fire hydrant?
Blogging! –A
Hi Lisis,
I think it’s great that you no longer have to look for happiness but are now working to maintain it, what a wonderful position to be in.
I too am a creature of habit. I certainly don’t think your days sound boring I think they would be very fulfilling, like you say you’ve worked hard to include activities that you truly enjoy and that’s fantastic.
I also think it’s great that you’re 100% present in the moment when schooling your son. That mantra “Be Present” has had the most profound affect on my life at home. I take everything in and enjoy it all without thinking about what else I could be doing or wishing the day away.
Great post!

Thanks, Sherri! I totally agree, being present makes all the difference in the world.
Sometimes I think my challenge with this blog is finding different ways to deliver the same message every day: “you will find lasting happiness when you can focus 100% on the positives of each present moment.”
Lisis- Thanks for sharing. Your routine is simple and well thought out. I can definitely put some of your ideas in place on my quest for being a little more organized and “balanced”.
Jennifer – Smart.Healthy.Green.’s latest post… Spring Time¦always great for a fresh start!
Hey, Jennifer: I hope it helps. I’m a big fan of keeping things real simple so you can still have time for the little things, and for yourself. Spring is definitely a great time for a fresh start.
Lisis, just discovered your blog from your comment link at The Positivity Blog. Routines are a great way to find balance through the day. I write 5 daily, differently themed blogs about Life’s Big Choices – aka Balance.
Best wishes for a great week with your Son.
Hi, Jeff! I’m not actually blogging anymore, but it’s always lovely to meet new people. I’ll check out your blog for new approaches to Life’s Big Choices. Thanks for stopping by!
