The Power of Routines

Maria Bradfield

Hello, my friends and welcome to Motivational Moments with Maria. I’m your host Coach Maria and thrilled to be here with you. My intent with this weekly podcast is to bring you some thoughts and ideas to keep you on your journey to live a fully joyful, productive, and vibrant life.  Just a quick note to remind you how grateful I am that you are joining in and thank you for all the feedback and comments.  You inspire me to be better every day. 

It's the end of the first month of the New Year.  How productive have you been?  How happy have you been?  How much joy have you spread to others? These are questions I ask myself at the end of each day.  It’s part of my daily routine.   

I have received several requests and questions from my listeners about schedules and routines so guess what we will be chatting about today?  
 
Here is what I know...Routine is the Sign of An Ambitious Individual.  The actual quote by W.H. Auden is..."Routine, in an intelligent man, is the sign of ambition."  I hope you don’t mind but I had to take liberty with the quote and change it up a bit! 

Some people ask…why do I need a routine?  Can’t I just wake up and do whatever presents itself in the morning.  Of course you can.  But what happens when you do that?  You have no intentions; you have no plan, and you allow any distraction to take you off your game.

Listen in for the power of routines.
