Break the monotony of your routine.

When we are constantly trapped in a cycle, regurgitating the same movements and ideas. How can we grow? I’ve realized a prerequisite for success isn’t just sticking to your routines, but knowing when to break them.

This past weekend, I took a trip to the far side of my country — Montego Bay, Jamaica — to run a 5k with friends. Inevitably my routine was derailed drastically, from going out and having fun, to just chilling for hours catching up with my friends. But I wasn’t bothered by not meeting the previous demands of my routine.

Throughout the entire experience, I was able to gain new ideas and new fervor, that I hadn’t felt in a while.

Routines leave you isolated. Break the chains of monotony, and become adaptable when needed.
