Back When I Thought Routine Was the Problem…
Wake up. Check messages. Get ready in a hurry. Rush to catch the bus or cab. Join meetings. Skip lunch. Complain about workload. Scroll through Instagram. Go to bed tired.
Then do it all over again.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. This is how most of us in the middle-class Indian workforce live. We call it “normal.” But is it really?
For months, I believed I was simply tired because “this is how life is.”
But one small change flipped everything.
The Morning That Shifted Everything
The alarm buzzed again. I was about to hit snooze when my 8-year-old daughter walked in and softly said, “Papa, will you sit with me while I eat?”
For once, I didn’t look at the clock. I just got up and followed her.
We sat together for ten quiet minutes—no phone, no rush.
She spoke about her drawing, a classmate’s joke, and how her teacher says “balloon.”
We laughed. We connected. It felt simple, yet special.
That day, I felt calmer. I wasn’t irritated. I didn’t need my usual chai boost.
It amazed me how one small moment could shift my entire day.
That’s when I realised—you don’t have to change your whole life.
Just one part of your routine can change the way you feel.
Could This Be the Reason You're Drained All the Time?
Most people don’t feel tired because they’re doing too much.
They feel tired because they’re doing the same things every day—with no space for reflection, peace, or purpose.
Here’s what we forget:
Routines shape energy. And energy shapes life.
But when we hear the word “change,” we freeze.
“Change? I don’t have time for all that.”
“Change? I’m already juggling too much.”
We get it. That’s why we’re not talking about big change.
We’re talking about smart, simple shifts that renew your energy—without turning your life upside down.
Why New Routines Can Transform Your Energy
When you follow the same daily path on autopilot, your mind stops engaging actively. That leads to:
- Low motivation
- Mental fatigue
- Emotional burnout
But when you introduce a new routine—even a small one—you send a message to your brain:
“Hey, something is different. Stay awake. Pay attention.”
That spark of novelty activates your energy, improves focus, and lifts your mood.
So, if you’re asking:
- “Why do I feel tired even after resting?”
- “Why am I short-tempered lately?”
- “Why don’t I feel like ‘myself’ anymore?”
It might be time to introduce a new routine.
How You Can Start – Even If You're Busy and Tired
Here are some doable, daily shifts that won’t feel like “extra work”:
✅ Wake up 10 minutes earlier—but use those minutes just for yourself.
Not email. Not WhatsApp. Just you. Stretch, sip tea slowly, sit in silence.
✅ Switch your lunch routine.
Move away from your desk. Even if it’s just 5 feet away. Focus only on eating.
✅ Create an evening boundary.
Pick a time when work ends. Actually ends. Close the laptop. Put the phone away for 15 minutes.
✅ Write one line of gratitude every night.
It could be about your family, your job, or even the weather. You’ll go to sleep lighter.
But What If I Can’t Stick to It?
That’s okay.
Change isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress.
Missed a day? Begin again.
Fell off for a week? No problem. Restart.
