This week, we are thankful for…routines. Sometimes life can get out of control, and our built-in rhythms save our sanity.

Whether it’s waking up at the same time every morning or taking a walk every afternoon or keeping fixed office hours, our self-imposed guardrails give us space to focus and do what needs to be done.

They can be silly and small (like starting your day in the same chair with the same mug of coffee) or serious and significant (like dedicated family time that cannot be interrupted).

Either way, our routines ground us, give us structure, and make our lives infinitely more manageable.
