Routines are Boring:
You Need a New Practice
You don’t need another rigid routine; you need a living practice that evolves with you, supports your energy, and meets you where you actually are each day.
If you’ve ever tried to force a strict “miracle morning” and couldn’t stick with it, nothing is wrong with you. Your strength is intuition, not rigidity. A practice honors who you are. A routine tries to force you into who you’re not.
Your Brain Doesn’t Need More Rules, It Needs Resonance
If you grew up in emotional chaos, unpredictability, or hypervigilance, your brain learned to stay alert, responsive, and ready for anything. That nervous system doesn’t thrive under rule-heavy routines. It rebels. Your resistance isn’t laziness, it’s your body saying, This doesn’t fit me.
Whether you have ADHD or simply a creative, active mind, routines often feel suffocating. When your morning is structured so tightly that there’s no space for intuition, creativity, or emotional truth, it stops supporting you and starts confining you.
Your nervous system doesn’t want sameness. It wants safety, and safety comes from resonance, not rigidity.
Your Practice Is a Homecoming, Not a Checklist
Think of your practice as the space you return to yourself, not something you perform. A good practice helps you remember your purpose, reconnect to your spirit, and ground your energy.
For me, that looks like noise-canceling headphones, frequency music, a notebook, and a pen. The frequencies calm the busy brain and raise my emotional state. Then I journal, breathe, pray, listen, and let whatever needs to come through arrive, ideas for my business, someone I’m meant to reach out to, clarity about a next step, or a simple reminder of what I need that day.
Your practice isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence.
If Your Routine Feels Heavy, It’s a Signal, Not a Failure
There will be seasons when you don’t “do your routine,” and your mind will want to make that mean something terrible: I’m behind. I failed again. I’m not disciplined.
But often, the week you “don’t do it” is the week your system is recalibrating. It’s your intuition saying, This version isn’t working anymore, let’s evolve.
Instead of judging yourself, ask:
– What feels outdated?
– What feels heavy?
– What feels alive?
– What wants to be added, removed, or changed?
Your practice should grow with you, not punish you.
Your Practice Continues Throughout the Day
A morning practice is only the beginning. The real work is how you live your day.
Are you the same person in private as you are in public?
Do you spend your best energy keeping everyone else happy?
Do you push through exhaustion and call it “normal”?
Micro-resets keep your frequency aligned: a breath, a stretch, stepping outside, a moment with your hand on your heart. These aren’t small, they’re regulation. They’re how you stay connected to yourself instead of spiraling into burnout.
The Right Practice Raises Your Frequency
There is no single formula. Your practice may include:
– Frequency music
– Breathwork
– Automatic writing
– Scripture or prayer
– Movement or stretching
– Worship songs
– Journaling
– A walk in nature
– A TED Talk that sparks something in you
The question is never,
Is this impressive?
The question is,
does this lift me? Even a little?
Anything that moves you from fear to hope, chaos to clarity, or numbness to presence is part of your practice. And when something stops lifting you and becomes an obligation, that’s your cue: Let it go. Its job is done.
You’re Not Here to Survive Your Routines You’re Here to Become Yourself
You don’t need caffeine, guilt, and self-pressure guiding your days. You’re here to rise into the truest, clearest, most aligned version of you.
A living practice helps you raise your frequency, honor your nervous system, and respond to life with intention rather than autopilot.
So instead of asking, “What routine should I follow?” ask:
“What would I do today if my only goal were to remember who I am and raise my energy just a little higher?”
The answer that rises within you is your practice.
