The Haze of Monotony: Don't Let Routine Take Away Life's MAGIC
from The Soul Horizon
When we become accustomed to something—person, place, thing, or experience—the mind has a tendency to forget the magic that it felt when it was new and novel. As we move along in life and our schedules solidify, we settle down, and we tuck in to routines, a haze of monotony can move in on our lives. When this happens, life loses that glisten, that glimmer. Sometimes we recognize this shift and lean into our edges to re-illuminate life with magic. But more often than not, we accept the monotony and give into dullness. Or perhaps we reach for quick hits of excitement or self-sabotage to shake things up and make ourselves feeling something... anything. In this episode, we'll uncover why the mind is prone to seeing monotony over magic and what we can do to reignite that invigorating life SPARK. "If you do not fill your energetic field with new experiences, new ideas, and new versions of yourself, your field becomes dim and worn, bored with the same old story.”—Channeled by Barbara MarciniakIdaho Sunset that inspired episode.ResourcesPodcast episode: Fear-apy: Face Your Fears, Find Your PurposePodcast episode: Instant Gratification v.
