lastly continuous
0:04
adaptation um find what works for you
0:07
you know in the previous section we
0:09
talked about ways to build a routine
0:12
manage time you maybe have already
0:14
gotten into a groove or you're still
0:16
navigating that find what works and then
0:19
become flexible in it right if anything
0:22
is too rigid and we can't change or
0:24
accommodate or adjust um it's usually
0:27
holding some kind of anxiety for us and
0:30
so practice being flexible or adjusting
0:34
if and when you need to schedules change
0:36
life changes things happen um being able
0:41
to adjust when they do is extremely
0:44
important if you can't um how might we
0:48
look at this a little more deeply you
0:50
could ask yourself questions like "What
0:52
purpose does this routine serve for me?"
0:54
If it's about a routine I can't break
0:56
you could fill any word in here what
0:58
purpose does blank serve for me what do
1:02
I worry will happen if I don't stick to
1:04
it or if I change it what do I assume
1:07
others will think or do or say um does
1:11
that influence how I feel or what I do
1:14
and what do I assume it means about me
1:16
if I do something differently is there a
1:18
reason I need to keep this the way it is
1:21
what does this do for me um what does it
1:23
mean about me if it changes right so
1:26
starting to think about some of the
1:28
barriers if you can't be flexible
