Routine and Comfortablility


Posts: 44

Has anyone here noticed that falling into a daily routine has improved their mood?

My lifestyle until recently was never scheduled. I worked when I needed and slept when I was tired. I always thought I would become bored of a daily routine. The only periods of time I had semi regular days were during the lowest points of depression. I would wake up after 5 pm, and watch television all night, sometimes I would go out with friends. At sunrise I would get breakfast with the girl I was seeing, I didnt spend this time isolated. After 5 or 6 weeks of this I was suicidal. 

Interestingly I find myself now in a 9-5 job and a steady routine. I was hesitant to take the job given the way routine had made me feel in my past, but instead I now find that I feel more satisfied and comfortable with life over all. 

How have you reacted to routine before? Has it made you feel depressed and bored, or do you feel it was beneficial?

It's the job. No one can tell you anything, and after your shift you have that gratifying feeling.

Yeah, routines are important. 9-5 isn’t too bad but I’m not so much a fan because I’m most active during dawn and dusk as opposed to midday so I break my schedule down to fit a slightly earlier or slightly later timeline than 9-5

I get random bursts of euphoria if I my life is un-stressful and peaceful for long periods of time. Stability and peace make me happy.

This is both well documented today scientifically but is also the focus of a lot of magik, alchemy, and other esoteric philosophies of the past. 

People need ritual to create order in their lives and initiation to feel ready to take on new roles or tasks. 

Public school is a great example of such a practice. You wake up everyday at the same time, do your morning routine, catch the bust, go to school, go through a set schedule, and at the end are initiated into a new stage of maturity - the next grade or adult life if is a hs graduate. 

As an adult one must instantiate order themselves and this is difficult, hence one either hands themselves over to substances, becomes a wage cuck, goes to college, starts a business, does nothing, or kills themselves. Initiation rituals are even harder to manifest yourself so once again people turn towards societal set milestones like a university or a job. Many students at universities are just lost puppies, they were told this is what one of worth does with themselves after high-school, for them and their parents this is the next initiation into proper society while drugs and substances are initiations into the underground.
