Here’s a couple of great ideas to further help keep fear of change at bay by limiting routines you perform in life. Use them to stimulate your own ideas:

 Start and finish work at different times each day – if work allows. Can also vary times you have lunch – and where you eat lunch. Can you vary routes you take to and from workplace?

 Eat a different breakfast each day. Most people eat same breakfast everyday. Can you vary it? And try not to get in routine of eating same meal on a particular day. E.g. Tuesday is pot roast, Friday is fish, Saturday is steak.

 Shop at different supermarkets. Many people shop at same stores on same day every week. Try different ones, different days.

 Try a different cuisine every week. I love cooking and I like to try as many different dishes as I can. One idea I use is to pick a country and try a couple of recipes from there. You could also use states and regions. It’s a great way of varying diet and learning about other cultures.

 Visit somewhere new at least once a month. This could be a new town or country, a new restaurant, a new museum, theatre, park wherever you can think of!

 Avoid temptation to watch television every night. Read a book, surf Internet, attend a night-school class, workout, go to movies – idea here is not to just slump in front of TV every night.

OK, I know these are basic ideas but they are effective in helping to break mundane routines. Routine really can make life a bit of a dull plod, so please do try and use these ideas to help you break free from them. And please don’t rush into making major changes as it can be overwhelming. Take it nice and slow by making small adjustments to make life less of a routine and to slowly get mind to accept changes when they come.

It’s so important to demonstrate to subconscious that YOU are in control and that you will not let fear of change control you. If you let it, your imagination will set boundaries on amount of happiness you can get from life. The biggest weapon it will use to stop you from embracing life-enhancing change is FEAR.

Why let it get away with it?
