Anyone else do the same thing every day, rarely deviate from that ritual?

Hills for breakfast.

Peanut butter (and butter) sandwich for lunch along with an apple.

Granola Bar for snack.

Intervals for dinner.

Every. damn. day.

Yes, but my ritual morphs over time.

What's for dinner?

Me too, about every couple months, and I always think that my current ritual is an improvement over the last one.

No

I change my username now and then

BEEF!

I try to mix things up. The only thing I keep the same is 3 or 4 eggs for breakfast every weekday. But even that I change up how they are cooked.

I have a few routes I go to when I'm tired and don't want to be creative, but I typically start running and let my mood dictate the route. Maybe I'm feeling hills, or a country road, possibly the downtown parks a few miles away...

Where's the beef?

8 a day keeps the doctor away, same route.

Yes. Because I like to get good at stuff rather than constantly try new things. Getting good at stuff requires almost daily dedication as part of a routine. When I get tired of one thing, I'll try to get good at something else. It's amazing how many people don't understand this is how you get good at stuff. Instead, they just get bored and are constantly distracted or have to try new things. Screw that, I like to get good at stuff.

From a brain-body health standpoint this may not be a good thing. When we repeat the same predictable, routine and thoughtless actions, habits and behaviour, the brain as well as body stagnates. We stay in the same groove, the same lifelong rut. There is some evidence that this pattern of behavior can contribute to dementia related diseases. So get out there and mix things up a bit. To drive home this point I'd recommend reading Norman Doidge - The Brain that Changes itself, Michael Merzenich - Softwired - and he's also the founder of BrainHQ and the most prominent scientist in the area of neuroplasticity.

I feel like I've seen this before...

Every days the same and is going to be that way for the next 150 years here in the Buttner, NC., federal lockup.

I hate cream corn.

Almost the exact same running route, shortened or lengthened a couple miles depending on how far I wanna go

1 or 2 TV shows I like and I rematch episodes rather than try a new show (I'm tired of people telling me I'd like the show Silicon Valley. No, thanks!)

How about, you forgot, beating off at 8pm to jamin's "how y'all doing tonight" post?

I do the same thing so much, I forget what I did yesterday.
