Don't you feel trapped sometimes?
If I have such a static routine everything starts to feel pointless to me. I feel the urge to break out, and just yell fuck it all, and walk away from everything.
I really need quite an amount of time that is not planned, and where I do whatever my mind wants in that moment. Otherwise I feel like an explosion is building up inside me.
And in turn that destroys every fitness, healthy eating or similar routine I have tried to encompass.
It seems impossible to create a life for myself with healthy routines, that also feels like actually living.
Maybe routines just don’t work for you 🤷♂️ seems completely fine, no? Enjoy being creative and exciting, I bet you‘re an interesting person.
OP says they have a 6yr old, that alone structures life a lot.
For me, I have weekend adventures to break the monotony. Some weekends I go run in a 5k, some I go to cool exhibitions or make a trip to another city to explore some museums, and some I'm just chilling at home with family
Seasons also help. When your thing is going for a bike ride most evenings, it gets a lot harder when the cold wind, snow and early darkness make that not enough fun to brave, so you're forced to shift to winter activities instead
Other than the occasional my wife and kid for whatever reason are driving me crazy and wanting to abandon them for a few days, no not really.
Hi! I am a less structured person living with a much more organized/routine husband.
Habit > Routine as far as exercise. Or anything but it works best for exercise because if you can force yourself to do it for the 6 weeks it takes to become a habit, you feel so much better it is self sustaining. I have always, always found everything works better when I set aside time for exercise, or effortful physical work. And really, if you just wander during your unstructured time, out in the world, move your body not sit still, that will do a lot.
