Most of us have routines. We do this, then we do that. I think routines are great containers for our lives. They provide a space in which to explore and live life fully. However, if the routine is not serving our highest interests, then perhaps its time to re-evaluate your routine and create a stronger container.

My daily routine looks like this: I awaken, sit for meditation, stretch, eat and go to work. Throughout my work day which consists of seeing clients, skyping or phoning distance clients and time at my computer.
Did I mention I have THE best job, it suits me perfectly! Granted, I have a great boss (yours truly 8-) and the very best job in the world. I get to help people release the filters that keep them out of alignment with their truest Self — my clients use their relationships with themselves, others and Life as a yoga mat, releasing tension and experiencing the sweetest union.
At the end of my work day, I gather up my dogs for a walk, have a longer stretch session, have dinner and relax in the evening with a book or TV. On the weekends, my routine is a Saturday morning yoga class, walks, and plenty of time to follow my nose.
Routines serve as great containers for creating the kind of life your heart is calling out for. If your life is feeling a little chaotic or not quite satisfying, you could take a look at your routines. What small changes might you make in your routine to create a strong container for your life? Of course, a retreat is a fantastic way to investigate the routines of your life.
