7 Ways To Break Up Your Routine

You can break up your routine without breaking up the good habits you’ve built.

Work, eat, workout, eat, work, eat, work, sleep. Rinse and repeat.

The cycle of my life is not so different from the lifestyle that every other person typically goes through in their working life.

And it is annoying.

Of course this is something that you have to accept when you’re focused on a specific goal. The purpose of achieving a goal is to develop a set of habits and perform them on repeat for the rest of your life. At least until you hit that milestone or the goal itself.

But there are all kinds of roadblocks that you run into between you and those milestones and goals.

One such roadblock is the fact you’re in a routine. A routine that can slowly become boring, uninteresting, and something you’ll abandon for something that’ll give you way more dopamine.

And finding some alternative isn’t so difficult in a world where everything is stimulating to some degree.

It’s easy to get into that cycle, however there are several ways that you can avoid this. It’s as simple as breaking up that routine and adding just enough variance to it to make it thrilling once more.
