This is like the second or third post in this series, and it's certainly not going to be the last.
Because I've been going to yoga classes, spending a few extra hours away from my apartment, my timetable has been disrupted pretty heavily in recent times. And I'm having a really touch time adjusting. As in I don't mind the new schedule and the new activity (oh I love it so so much, but more on that in a later post) but I can't seem to go back to doing what I was already doing.
Obviously my schedule needs to adapt and change to accommodate for new changes, but I don't understand how, necessarily? Or what the hindrance is, why can't I just do the old things as well as the new things? It's so silly, I even have the hours all lined up! Ugh!
So I believe this is the first time, ever in my life, that I've had a 'planned disruption' of regular timetable in my life, that I've observed and talked about, and trying to adapt to. This very post is a part of that growth and understanding too. My circumstances have changed, I still need to maintain every task I was doing previously, and plan and execute accordingly. I need to have a new mindset. Because if things change around you, and you're still going according to the old plan...we'll that's the russian war strategy...
This has happened to me, the lack of ability to adapt to a new schedule so many times before, but I could never quite identify what was wrong as there were so many factors involved. Now it's quite clear: it's literally the fact that I can't adapt to a new routine easily. I wonder how I could get better. Perhaps make a new timetable? Perhaps create a 'dummy day' where I act out dummy activities all day long, without actually practicing them, and then executing that. Perhaps pretend-running a day in an hour. Perhaps meditation and mindfulness exercise to make myself confident that things are okay?
Interesting challenge, a good problem to have...
