Future and Daily Routine

 The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.

Took another quote of the day to ground my thinking and writing this morning. 

Hmm! So what will happen in the future is likely related to whatever it is we are doing now. What am I doing now? What routine have I established since I have moved in here?

 Every morning I wake up and come here with a cup of tea.  I read past entries. I listen to some external source of wisdom.  I write. Then I meditate, practice Tai Chi, do 30 minutes of hatha yoga.  Morning...gone. In the afternoon: I clean and tidy, go for a 40 minute walk, commune a bit with nature (discovered a family of deer I try to see on every walk), may or may not do a yoga nidra in the afternoon. I read. I knit, watch TV, read again, and meditate in the evening.  Amongst all that I feed myself and others ( including the animals), I take care of basic needs, I may walk the dogs a bit ( they require a shorter walk than the one I do), I am still working on the house,  I communicate with those in need to make sure everyone is at least still alive. What do I "not" do that my mind is telling me has to be added to my routine? Work! I am looking for remote teaching/tutoring work to add to my routine-and of course, I still have those books I told myself I would be inspired to finish in this new area ( the novel and the non-fiction one on Fear and Shame). On top of that I know I still need to work in some paying form. 

So, what does this daily routine say about my future.  Well if I keep going without paid work...I am going to be very, very poor in the future. lol. Hopefully, from what I do incoporate into my routine...I will become more awakened or at least more in touch with my Chi/shakti with my morning practice.  At the very least, I will become more fit. I already feel myself becoming more toned in different muscle groups since I started the Tai Chi practice and the walking. This I am hoping may mean lower levels of cholesterol in the future and stronger bones. My biggest goal is to heal at the deepest level, to experience more of a flow within, and more of a connection with the flow of Life energy. I think my daily routine is indicative that that might happen. 

What about the writing? Well the blog writing may never go "external" but what it offers me internally is something that will add to my future life in a positive way. It is healing and helping me to get closer to my ultimate goal. If I don't write and submit these other books, however, they will go nowhere, help no one.  So, I need to add that type of writing to my routine.

I also have to change or add to some of my routine if I want a healthier future. 

If I do not add some "money-making activity" to my daily routine now...there will be no change in my financial status in the future. 

Anyway, I do agree that we set the pattern in the now for how Life will respond in the future.  Even with our thinking alone...we need to intend positively so we live positively. Hmm!

All is well
