How would you notice if your routine is becoming an obsession?

Having a routine is a good thing. It makes sure you do all the important things. There are books about how to create atomic habits.

 

Joey Robert Parks shared about how he HAS to be obsessed with making sure his morning happens just so or his whole day goes off the rails.

 

Amanda Bolos and I talked a little bit about how you might know you’re taking something too far when it becomes so rigid that the thought of not doing it is stressful or even causes anxiety.

 

And there is outside reinforcement that can push a routine too far. People saying, “You’re so good. You’re so disciplined. I wish I could be that disciplined.”

 

Royce Gomez-King brought up TikTok and how easy it is for that to drag you down a rabbit hole. (I was on Grappling with the Grey recently talking about how TikTok is designed to be addictive).

 

There are certainly things that need to be habits and routines to keep life running smoothly. Based on this conversation, it is easier to slip out of a good habit than it is to undo a bad one. Joey mentioned noticing what happens right before the thing that isn’t working. Sometimes that is a good indicator.

 

How do you know if your have a healthy routine or an unhealthy obsession?
