Why I'm thankful for my routine!




Hello and welcome to day 12 of my 30 days of gratitude challenge! Today's reason to be thankful is my daily routine. I must be honest, finding random things that I'm thankful about is a little hard sometimes because they are things you take for granted. It helps to find things to be grateful for in life because it makes you look on the brighter side. 

One thing I always used to hate was the same old boring routine on a day to day basis. You get up, work, come home, have dinner, then go to bed and it's like a continuous cycle. For me, I love mixing up what I'm doing or else I would probably go insane. My routine for the past year does not consist of working, unfortunately. since I am waiting for my longer length visa. 

I am thankful to not have to set my alarm clock on a daily basis and have to be stuck in traffic at 9 AM. 

I am thankful to learn what being a housewife is all about and planning how to decorate our home!

I am thankful to be able to blog more because if I was working, I probably wouldn't be able to blog as often.

I am thankful that every day is different for me and I don't know from one day to the next what is going to happen, and I like that!




So there you have it, my routine at the moment is pretty nonexistent but after working a lot in the past 5-10 years I look at it as having a well deserved break. I'm ready to start having a busy routine again! Working, possibly going to the gym again, and maybe even starting a little family of my own? What is your daily routine like? Do you wish you had less things to worry about on a daily basis?

Until tomorrow!

  1. This 30 day challenge is such a good idea! I agree with your point about having a daily routine- on weekdays I do the exact same thing every day and I really want to start changing my routine up a bit as I get so bored! xx

    1. I definitely think that changing up your routine is a good thing so you don't get bored with it, because who wants that in their life? At least on the weekends you don't need to have a schedule!

  2. My friend once told me her mum said routines were bad for you, I didn't understand at first but after not having a routine for a while, I can really tell the difference, it's so freeing!

    1. I do think being stuck in a bad routine is not good for you but having a set schedule can be a good thing. I was working at one of my jobs for 5 years, and after that long I was going nuts doing the same thing over and over.
