As much as I’m addicted to change. I need a little self administered structure to keep myself balanced and present for my travels.
I’m experimenting with harnessing my most productive times, with the things that take more concentration and effort. Then I balance in the parts of my day that are automatic and take no willpower or thought. So here goes my travel routine!
I had a semi regular meditation practice before leaving the United States. That was before I better understood how to create habits that are based on more than just will power.
Not only does my travel routine give me familiarity, it helps me to do my work. It took me some time to experiment to get the rhythm right, but if I fail to do the seemingly unrelated things to my actual work, then the work don’t come. That’s been my experience. If I don’t eat well, drink tons of water, move my body, still myself from my overactive mind, and so forth, it’s physically impossible for me to craft a word. It’s hard to focus and be clear about sharing the information that only I can share without structure.
