we all have routines
Yep. I was long time seeing advice from Ayurveda that, for my vata dosha, routines would really do me good, and I'd recoil from that, seeing routines only as those imposed (as demands) on me. Little did I realise I had indeed formed many routines of my own. (Hence why that was in brackets with a "perhaps").
a few years ago, this would have felt super stressful for me too
I'm still mid-transition to accepting it. :) Making progress. Eliminating that stressor born of that conflation and negativity tainted perception.
