Break Out of Your Box

Lying on the bed eyes wide opened,

thoughts running wild in my mind.

Tired and drained,

every cells in my brain and every part of my body,

willed me to sleep.

Stuck in a rut,

I’m stuck in a rut.

Like a lyric playing on repeat in my mind.

Lately I have been feeling a little out of sorts.

It got me pretty annoyed with myself.

“I need to disconnect!” — my inner self demanded.

I felt trapped.

Like a hamster running in the wheel, I am trapped in a box where I see myself in a cycle I could not break away.

I was in the shower and pondering about this rut and it dawned on me:

What if this box is something I allowed myself to be trapped in?

*cues lightbulb lighting*

From Mondays to Sundays — day in and day out, week after week, we are subconsciously living a routine:

Waking up at a fixed time on the week days > Preparing the kids for school > Getting dressed for work > Going through the motion of work > Picking up the kids from school > Eating dinner > Preparing for bedtime > ….

Then here we go again, the next day and the next…

We are trapped inside a box called “routine”.

Perhaps we were the ones who willingly trap ourselves in.

----

Are you allowing yourself to be trapped in this box too?

Its time to break free.
