#242 Struggling with the New Routine? Strategies to help the transition

The Full Weight of Joy: Self-Awareness, Purpose & Faith for Entrepreneurs, Professionals, and Those Who Know they Were Made for More

We all love routines, even if we think we don’t. Our brains are wired for routine, predictability, and familiarity. We want to know what to expect and how to show up in situations. And like most things in life…once we get comfortable with the path we are on…a wrench is thrown in, and we have to make a change. Sometimes, big ones. Today I talk about routines through the eyes of a Mom getting her kids ready for school…but the strategy works for any situation! Listen in!

Key Takeaways:

• Routines are necessary for success
• Three Actionable Steps:
  • Plan and Prepare: Create a detailed list of tasks and commitments, categorize them, and add them to the calendar to alleviate stress.
  • Prioritize and Delegate: Discern which tasks must be handled by parents and which can be delegated to others, including children, to foster responsibility and lighten the load.
  • Establish Personal Routines: Identify small routines that bring joy and energy to parents, prioritizing self-care to create a positive environment.
• Three Mindset Shifts:
  • Embrace Flexibility: Adjust routines based on family dynamics and children's needs to reduce stress.
  • Focus on Progress Over Perfection: Celebrate small wins and recognize that re-establishing routines takes time, alleviating the pressure for perfection.
  • Prioritize Self-Care: Make self-care a non-negotiable aspect of daily life to manage family responsibilities effectively.
• Maintaining Momentum: Embrace the journey of transitioning back to school, support children, and continue pursuing personal and professional goals.
