9 Essential routines for your soul

10-04-2010 in topic : Self-development

essential routine

A routine is not always boring , it is not necessarily gathering dust to your life , trapping you in a web of repeated tasks , this prospect is not always true , sometimes  routine is essential for keeping your life more organized and healthier enabling you even to progress and be more creative..these are some routines i follow in my life which i thought of sharing with you , Here they are :
1 . Daily reading
Feed your spirit by reading books or articles on topics you love (i love to read one self-development article at least daily), the main benefit is that it sways your attention from your burdens and problems to other worlds even if temporarily , we get wiser by reading  , it is a long-term self building plan you will reap its fruits by time .

2 .  Holy book reading
(If you are a none-believer skip this step ), there is no more effective soul-maintenance technique than this step , i tend to think of myself as a machine needs to be  checked regularly at by its creator , reading Holy book is like rechecking the regulations that were set to make my life happier , i feel great comfort when reading Holy book daily , 2 pages is sufficient , if you wanna read more do it , but start small and don’t take over your capacity .

3 . Weekly exercise

Well all self-development experts say that exercising relieves stress , after exercise you will feel light , fresh , open minded and full of energy , in addition to having a good physical image  , this routine is not implemented yet in my schedule , but i am going to subscribe soon in a gym and pay a weekly visit to it  .

4 . Favorite place visit
I keep a list of the places i like to be in most , every week i pick one and go to it , i don’t have to take a company , sometimes i enjoy going by myself , some examples of these places could be a library , cinema , mall , used-antiques markets , galleries..etc .

5 . Spend some time with people you love

No one can’t figure out whom are the people who make him happy , if you are lucky and have these people in your life don’t let life take you away from them whatever the conditions were , even if you were busy , make it a weekly routine to spend some time with them and you won’t regret it , as simple as it may seem , but i enjoy drinking a cup of cappuccino with some friend in a cozy  place having trivial conversations whenever possible .

6 .  Follow one or more of your to-do

I have a to-do list , and always keep myself  busy following one of its items , whenever one finishes the other is followed , that way you will be on the right track of progress and would increase your sense of self-accomplishment  , so at any given day you should be presumably following one of your to-do list goals .

7 . Practice a hobby

a hobby is something you love to do , something you don’t feel time passing while doing it , i find it a challenge because i am a person who gets bored easily  …i love reading , watching movies , you can add a physical activity to your hobby list like swimming , playing volleyball , making handmade accessories (i used to make accessories in the past and quit..haven’t i said i always face boredom )

8 . Do-nothing time
Specify some time to do nothing , every day allocate 1 hour or more for complete mind-free , forget about your tasks , your burdens , just consider yourself free and do whatever comes to your mind without preparation , you will be surprised by what you could do in this time , from one hand you will get the chance to notice things you deliberately neglect in your busy life-style , on the other hand you will free your mind from worried thinking and return fresh again  , i surprised myself by what i managed to do using this technique , sometimes beautiful decoration ideas  for my home come to my mind , other times i think thoughtfully in  week activities and sometimes end up  re-evaluating my behavior with people around me . if you don’t have free thinking time you can’t notice these small things

9 .Spend some time with children

This is my little discovered secret for happiness ,  your children or  children of your siblings or friends , i have noticed that when i spend some time with children it transfers me to their simple world , world with no complications , it forces me to free my mind for a while and feel young with them ..i love the astonishment of young people , the amazement , the enthusiasm by every little detail in our complicated life and love to give them the chance to explore things they are not allowed to normally , like discovering my cell-phone , my digital camera , my makeup , the sense of discovery make you feel young again..try it

In order to keep up with these routines you must enjoy doing it , customize any point to match your needs and moods , read only in topics you love , pick hobbies that are funny to you , if you find any tip doesn’t suit you omit it and if you find any new routines add it  and mention it to me , after all the aim of this routine is making you happier not to impress anyone.
