Are you a creature of habit?

Do you have a daily routine that you like to follow?

If you do, have you ever thought of the benefits of doing the same things the same way at the same time every day?

Most of us have a daily schedule that consists of waking up, going to work or school, eating something a few times a day and going to bed at night.

The funny thing is...

All of us have our own preferences for how these things should be done.

Some of us put a lot of thought into our day and some of us just go with the flow and see where the day takes us.

When I was younger, I used to be a night owl.

I preferred to stay up late and sleep in the next morning.

I always felt like I could get so many things done at night, in peace and quiet.

And the night was my me time.

It wasn't until I turned 30 that I started teaching myself to be a morning person.

Initially, I didn't think it would be possible to shift my sleeping schedule and go to bed before 10 p.m., but it turns out it is.

With the change in my sleeping schedule, I've also learned to live my life off-peak.

peak times are hours that are the most popular, where there is the most activity.

So if I go to the grocery store on Saturday morning, I go right after I wake up and eat breakfast.

If I need to drive somewhere else, like the hair salon, or to meet a friend, I'll try to time my trip

to happen during non-rush hours.

Choosing the least popular times means I'll spend less time in the car, less time waiting in lines and I'll be in a better mood because of it.

So, for example, when I go food shopping super early in the day, most of the people I see in the store are just the people that work there.

Wszystko, co muszę kupić, jest w szafie.

Nic się jeszcze nie skończyło.

Wszystko na sklepach jest tak ładnie postawione.

Wszystko jest tak dobrze zorganizowane, że nie zostało wybrane.

Picked over, meaning looked through, where the best ones have already been taken.

And to me, seeing the store organized is so satisfying.

Do yourself a favor and avoid the crowds when you can.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

I know I skipped over to living my life away from crowds once I get going, but let's rewind to the start of the day.

What does the average person do in a day?

When our day consists of grooming, getting ready and running errands, what does that mean exactly?

Let's talk about it.

Let's start with the morning routine.

Let's picture you going about your day doing the following activities.

First, you wake up and get out of bed.

Maybe you put on a pot of coffee or turn on your Nespresso machine.

Do you turn on the TV to listen to the morning news?

Maybe you play your favorite podcast to get caught up on current events.

Maybe you prefer to sit in silence and meditate for a few minutes.

Then you step into your kitchen and make yourself some breakfast.

Normally you would scramble a couple of eggs with onions and bacon.

But today you decide to eat yesterday's take-out leftovers.

You tell yourself that you had a difficult week.

So you allow yourself to reheat that pizza from last night.

Or am I the only one that does that?

Po śniadaniu wychodzisz do szpitala, żeby osłabnąć twarz i osłabnąć twarze.

Jeśli jesteś na podstawie higieny oralnej, to prawdopodobnie też floszujesz.

Jeśli jesteś błędny jak bat, jak ja, to prawdopodobnie weźmiesz lęki kontaktowe i weźmiesz je w morzu.

Część personalnej ochrony jest kształceniem.

Jeśli jesteś mężem, może się kształtujesz, może kształtujesz twarz i kształtujesz włosy.

Większość ludzi włoży lotion?

Lubię, kiedy mój twarz pachnie ładnie i świeżo.

Gdybym mogła włożyć całą moją ciało w kształt lotionu codziennie, to bym to zrobiła.

Mówię, w jakiś sposób to robię.

I love the Nivea brand, or as Americans call it, Nivea.

I better not have any wrinkles ever because I moisturize every morning and every night.

And I really don't want to resort to Botox.

I don't really have anything against it.

I'm just too afraid of injecting anything into my face.

Jeśli jesteś kobietą, tak jak ja, to prawdopodobnie masz 10-stokową rutynę.

Zacznijesz od tłuszczów, a potem serumów, primerów, make-upu, a potem może sprężynę.

I to tylko twarz.

Czarność to inna historia.

Możesz go wyrzucić lub rozprzestrzenić.

Zazwyczaj muszę sprzedać małe kawałki na górze, kawałki, które zostawiają się na górze jak małe anteny.

Po make-upu i kawałkach wchodzą sztuczki, jak czapki, czapki, a może kawałek lub brzuch.

Potem, po całym tym, jesteś gotowy do posunięcia się.

Zdajesz sobie sprawę, że musisz wyciągnąć aplikację na telefonie, bo nie jesteś pewien, jak będzie dzisiaj.

I powiedzmy, że jest ładny zimowy dzień, z trochę zimniejszym wieczorem i gorącym wczorajem.

Z powodu tego, co właśnie nauczyłeś się,

Zdajecie sobie sprawę, że najlepiej by było się poddawać w kształtach.

Takie jak tank top lub short-sleeved shirt, z czymś podobnie jak sweatshirt z zip-upem lub jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jakaś jaka

This could be a backpack or a purse with a laptop, a bottle of water, keys and a wallet for those of us who still carry one.

You put your shoes on and you're out the door.

So, where are you going?

When we say we're running errands, we mean that there are some small tasks we need to take care of all over town.

This could mean stopping by the bank to take out some cash.

It could also mean stopping by the post office to mail something or buy stamps.

What if you've been feeling sick and need to run to the pharmacy to pick up something that would help you feel better?

After making your rounds around town...

You may want to stop by the grocery store to pick up that one last ingredient you need for the lunch you were planning to make.

Then you head home.

I suppose running errands is something you need to do when you happen to have a day off and don't need to be anywhere else.

And if you haven't won the lottery yet, then you're most likely going to work during the week.

When you leave the house to go to work, do you jump in your car and drive or do you take public transportation?

If you're lucky enough to live close to work or within walking distance, you save a lot of time by not commuting to work and sitting in traffic.

Maybe you're listening to this right now thinking, I don't even leave my house because I work from home.

That's cool too, but I think there are pros and cons to everything, right?

Did I ever go over pros and cons?

From Latin, pro et contra, for and against, or advantages and disadvantages.

Wracając do pracy od domu na chwilę.

Zawsze pracowałam od domu przez kilka lat.

I mimo tego, że byłam szczęśliwa, że miałam więcej godzin w morzu, żeby wyjeżdżać i zrobić śniadanie, czasami czułam, że żyłam swoją życiem w domu, gdzie była moja deska.

I życie trochę mnie przejechało.

Teraz moja firma zmieniła się do składu hybrydowego, gdzie

Robimy kilka dni w oficie i kilka dni w domu.

I myślę, że preferuję to.

Jest miło widzieć ludzi i prowadzić dyskusje osobne, ale wtedy wciąż być w stanie pojechać na walkę w okolicy w morzu, zanim siedzę na komputerze.

Teraz, żeby kontynuować nasze codzienne rutynki, pretendujmy, że jest późno w dniu.

You've taken your breaks, you've eaten your lunch, worked, maybe studied and finally made your way back home.

Does home and being at home sound like the best place to be?

Then maybe you're an introvert.

I read once that the way to tell whether you're really an introvert or an extrovert is to think about how you gain energy and recharge.

If you get energy from being around people, you're an extrovert.

If you recharge your batteries by being home alone, in peace and quiet, you're an introvert.

So, what do you do after getting home in the evening?

Think about the very first thing you do after you walk through the door.

I'll give you some ideas to describe the end of your day.

Tutaj jest pierwsza.

Zacznę od śniadania jak szybko wchodzę do domu.

Zbieram koczka, która mnie poznaje w pomieszczeniu i rzuca jej piłkę, zanim odpłynę jej łożysko.

Zazwyczaj jadę wielki śniadanie, więc kończę dzień przygotowywając małą salatkę na śniadanie.

I like to eat dinner while catching up on my favorite Netflix series.

After that, I wash whatever dishes are in the sink and jump in the shower right after.

Once I'm in my pajamas, I grab a book, usually a murder mystery novel, and read in bed until I fall asleep.

Here's the second one.

I'm so exhausted from the day when I get home that the first thing I do is change into sweats and get comfortable on the couch.

To save time, I pick up some food on the way home, so there's no need to cook.

I usually watch a cooking show while eating because I prefer light and positive entertainment.

Jedząc śniadanie podczas oglądania moich programów, wydaje mi się, że participuję w smakowaniu tego, co jest na ekranie.

Po śniadaniu wezmę gorącą wiatr, aby rozprzestrzenić moja mózg.

To, co pomoże mi się rozprzestrzenić później, to czas spokojny, by się rozprzestrzenić i zreflektować na dzień.

Kiedy wejdę do śniadania, mogę przeczytać jakieś nowe historie.

before I turn my phone off for the night and fall asleep.

Aside from the things I just mentioned, you may prefer to exercise, spend time with family, journal, make to-do lists, plan outfits for the next day, talk on the phone, or do some combination of these activities.

You know, having routines is beneficial to our health.

Routines allow us to oversee the structure of our day, which means our day is predictable to us.

Having that predictability reduces stress, helps us focus and allows us to sleep better.

I've said this before and I'll say it again.

Good sleep and a healthy diet does

have a positive impact on your mental health.

With that said, it's okay to take a break sometimes.

Do things you don't normally do.

Switch up the routine whenever you want and adjust your routine to better fit your goals.

If you want to brush up on your English, try focusing on your daily routine.

You may not realize it, but people talk about these simple things in daily conversations all the time.

Have you ever talked with someone on the phone and asked them what they did today or what they're doing tomorrow?

I'm willing to bet that you've listened to your mother, co-worker or friend talk about their weekend, even when it wasn't that exciting.

Anyway, thanks for listening.

I'm working on adjusting my routine to be better at posting more episodes.

I will be working towards my goal, but if you'd like to share your goals and routines, shoot me an email.

Thank you for listening.

Until next time.
