When I was younger, I didn’t have any sort of routine (except for my morning coffee and Camel Lights. But when I was about 25, I started a pretty serious, six-morning-a-week ashtanga yoga practice which completely changed the way I framed my day and the way I viewed myself. Routines are powerful, and not all of them require a gargantuan amount of self discipline- but they can be a signal to yourself that you are important. Routines continue to help me make meaningful shifts in the way I live, and my relatively new “spa” routine which incorporates dry brushing and cold therapy, is something I have been doing for a while now (cold showers work for this).
