The Rhythm of Life

This Rhythm is the way I live my everyday life.

Not every single day.
Not perfectly every time,
but consistently enough that it makes a real difference.

I used to hate the idea of a daily routine.

How boring.

I didn't want to be boxed in. How could I know what I'd feel like doing on any given day? And I was convinced there was no way I could actually do something every. single. day. anyways!

Right?

Well I've learned something recently. Instead of viewing routine as either boring or limiting, I now see it as safety. Predictable can be boring, for sure. But it can also create stability.

ADHD and anxiety are such a strange combination because, on the one hand, I cannot be told what to do — even by myself — but on the other, I'm terrified of sudden change.

So a RHYTHM is what I've landed on.

It’s fluid. It has structured sections, but malleable contents and timing.
I’m not married to it, but it does keep me faithful to the most important things.
