You’re caught in a routine
It’s one thing to have a routine you like, it’s another to be so firmly stuck in it that you are uncomfortable veering from your daily script. Life coach Jacqueline Pirtle gives the example of having to make a detour during your morning commute.
“This detour has amazing new opportunities in store for you—like finding a new coffee shop or book store that you did not know is nearby,” she says. “Getting mad just means you will miss these opportunities. Rather, choose to stay flexible, positive, and open in these unknown situations. That opens up your experience of life.”
