Affirmation: New experiences spark new growth.
Journal Prompt: When was the last time I surprised myself?

---

Let’s talk about how easy it is to get stuck in a loop. You know the one. Same coffee order. Same walking route. Same playlist. Same Monday-through-Friday rhythm that starts to feel a little… beige.

Routines can be grounding, but every once in a while, they can also become a little too predictable. And when that happens, it might be time to shake things up—even if it’s just in a small way.

The other day, I broke my routine and took a different route on my walk. It felt random, but it led me to this beautiful tree-lined corner I had never seen before. There was a tiny Little Free Library filled with poetry books, a hand-drawn sign that read “If you’re waiting for a sign, this is it,” and for a moment, it felt like I’d stepped into a different version of my life.

That tiny shift sparked something in me. A little wonder. A little curiosity. A little bit of “what else am I not seeing because I keep doing things the same way?”

So today, I invite you to do one small thing differently.
– Try a new drink.
– Rearrange your workspace.
– Eat outside.
– Take a new route home.
– Say yes to something you normally say no to.

Your challenge is simple: Break the routine. Invite in something new.
Let your soul stretch its legs a bit. Growth doesn’t always look big or dramatic—it can start with one tiny, intentional shift.
