Why Your Routine Might Be Holding You Back – And What to Do Instead

We’re told that consistency is key, but what if rigid routines are actually limiting us? As an Indigo soul, I realized that forcing a structured routine often led to stress rather than support.

If traditional routines feel restrictive, maybe it’s time to create one that actually works with you, not against you.
