Great week to all of you, wherever you are with your family and people you share with on a daily basis.



Do you believe in having a structured routine or a more spontaneous approach to life?

Routines are considered as part of the discipline that we acquire as organized beings so that the time yields, between the roles we play daily as a woman, mother, professional, sister, daughter and others that are being added.

There are routines that are too vertical and there are times that I consider the only way to follow and achieve goals.

When I say vertical routines it is in those times of having small children, you are younger in age, the focus is more towards the children and that everything is fine for them. I have experienced this, it is a structure that is a little difficult to get out of, especially in those cases when the children become independent or there are activities that we no longer perform.

The time has come to evaluate this strict routine and make it softer or more attractive. Do other things that please us as long as they are not verticals that we do not feel that if we do not do it we are going to fail in something.

Current times are very different although if the routines that I have acquired are not performed I no longer feel that I am leaving something, on the contrary I allow myself to do it. Already those structures have softened with the activities that I currently perform. Walking in the mornings if there are other things to do are done, the meals that should be at fixed times can vary a little, the house cleaning can be done in parts and when there is more encouragement to do it, the same happens with the clothes.

In these years that I live and enjoy I am in this more spontaneous approach to life, learning, understanding, understanding, accepting that every day is a flow and the times are perfect for everything that we have proposed.

This more spontaneous approach to life is a way to make changes in our mind and thoughts, not that it is not planned if it is done but with more dedication that everything goes well leaving in the hands of the Creator what we can not change.

In retrospective vision if I stopped doing something on a daily basis it seems that something is lost, thinking now that how much we mistreat ourselves with that way of thinking in very structured routines.

Do you have any morning or evening rituals that help you feel grounded? What is the daily habit you can't live without?


To remind myself that I am in the present, if I am washing the dishes I tell myself: you are washing the dishes, feel the water, enjoy the smell of the dishwasher and so on in any activity I do , when I realize that my thinking went where it shouldn't go which is the past or the future, remembering stories that already happened or inventing stories that I don't even know if they are going to happen.

Excelente semana para todas, se encuentren bien donde se estén junto a familiares y personas que a diario comparten.


¿Crees en tener una rutina estructurada o un enfoque más espontáneo de la vida?


Las rutinas son consideradas como parte de la disciplina que adquirimos como seres organizados para que el tiempo rinda, entre los roles que a diario desempeñamos como mujer, madre, profesional, hermana, hija y otros más que se vienen añadiendo.

Hay rutinas que son demasiados verticales y hay tiempos que considero es la única manera de seguir y lograr metas.
Cuando digo rutinas verticales es en esos tiempos de tener niños pequeños, se es más joven en edad, el enfoque está más hacia los hijos y que todo esté bien para ellos. Esto lo he vivido, es una estructura que salir de ella cuesta un poco, sobre todo en esos casos cuando los hijos ya se hacen independientes o hay actividades que ya no las realizamos.

Llegó el tiempo de evaluar esa rutina tan estricta y hacerla más suave o más atractiva. Realizar otras cosas que nos agraden siempre y cuando no sean verticales que no sintamos si no lo hacemos vamos a fallar en algo.

Tiempos actuales muy diferente aunque si las rutinas que he adquirido sino se realiza ya no siento que estoy dejando algo, al contrario me lo permito. Ya esas estructuras se han suavizado con las actividades que actualmente realizo. Caminar por las mañanas si hay otras cosas que hacer se hacen, las comidas que debían estar en horas fijas ya puede variar un poco, el aseo de la casa se puede hacer por partes y cuando hay más ánimo para hacerlo, sucede igual con la ropa.

En estos años que vivo y disfruto estoy en ese enfoque más espontaneo de la vida, aprendiendo , comprendiendo, entendiendo, aceptando que cada día es un fluir y los tiempos son perfectos para que se de todo aquello que nos hemos propuesto.

Este enfoque más espontáneo de la vida es una manera de hacer cambios en nuestra mente y pensamientos, tampoco es que no se planifique si se hace aunque con más entrega que todo sale bien dejando en manos del Creador aquello que no podemos cambiar.

En visión retrospectiva si dejaba de hacer algo en el diario pareciera que se pierde algo, pensando ahora que cuanto nos maltratamos con esa manera de pensar en rutinas muy estructuradas.


¿Tienes algún ritual matutino o nocturno que te ayude a sentirte con los pies en la tierra? ¿Cuál es el hábito diario sin el que no puedes vivir?


Para recordarme que estoy en el presente, si estoy lavando los platos me digo: estás lavando los platos, siente el agua, disfruta el olor del lavaplatos y así en cualquier actividad que realizo , cuando me doy cuenta que mi pensamiento se fue hacia donde no debe ir que es el pasado o el futuro, recordando historias que ya pasaron o inventando historias que ni siquiera sé si van a ocurrir.

It’s fascinating how life can nudge us toward discovering what truly works for us—often in unexpected ways. Your reflection highlights such a vibrant contrast between meticulously planned routines and the beauty of embracing spontaneity. It’s clear that your adaptable approach, shaped by experience, has allowed you to find balance without rigid boundaries, even under pressure like those exam-packed days.

The image of you "me-ing" is wonderfully authentic, @mercmarg. It shows how self-awareness and flexibility play an integral role in your daily flow. Your ability to match life’s unpredictability with your own unpredictability brings an element of freedom and creativity, which is undeniably refreshing. It’s inspiring to see how you honor your energy and mood, leaning into them with a "let's see where this takes us" philosophy.

Your insights offer such a thoughtful take on life’s principle of finding—and owning—what aligns with you. Whether through a structured routine or going with the flow, it’s always about honoring what keeps you centered and fulfilled.

Thank you for such a great expression of my way of seeing the movements that have occurred in my life over the years and the experiences I have faced.

Everything has been a constant learning process, and in the last few months it has been like at top speed to understand where I am going in the years that I still have to live... for me it has been an experience to put into practice so much theory that I have added to my intellectual part, now the creative part must act with all its characteristics.

More flow, more understanding that what happens is perfect as it happens.

Thank you very much, @silversaver888

When you have kids, your day is so different than others and your daily life must be well planned for your kids. That is why it's necessary to have a structured routine for the well-being of kids. Even though sometimes a spontaneous routine is needed; I prefer a more balanced routine between structured and spontaneous...I am glad you manage time for yourself even though you have a structured routine...

Thank you @priyanarc , the structured routine is a little bit behind me...now I flow more with what I decide to do.
