Shells, ruts and routines...
So, this kinda follows along with elements of "The Secret" and some of the techniques they suggest. It has to do with falling in to routines and figuring out how to get out of them. I have to say from personal experience, the former is definitely easier than the latter. It takes real effort and a desire to change in order to get out of a routine. And there are so many reasons not to - it's comfortable, it is known, it is easy... the alternative is unknown, scary and different, and may cause stress. And while the act itself of getting out of a routine may not bring about some kind of miraculous change in your life, maybe it's not meant to. I think just the act of making yourself do something differently, making yourself experience the difficult, exposing yourself to and reacting to different stimuli in your life - I think all of this, collectively helps to change you as a person. Maybe subtly, maybe not so subtly... but you will change. Will your life be better? Who knows? But it will be different, and maybe that is the key to life - constant change... or maybe not... maybe there are no keys ... or maybe the keys were dropped down a sewage drain and currently share space with foul smelling things... or maybe the keys were just left in the yard. ;) Personally I think the the lifeline of the universe is the stream of consciousness...
