How would you notice if your routine is becoming an obsession?

<p>Having a routine is a good thing. It makes sure you do all the important things. There are books about how to create atomic habits.</p> <p> </p> <p>Joey Robert Parks shared about how he HAS to be obsessed with making sure his morning happens just so or his whole day goes off the rails.</p> <p> </p> <p>Amanda Bolos and I talked a little bit about how you might know you’re taking something too far when it becomes so rigid that the thought of not doing it is stressful or even causes anxiety.</p> <p> </p> <p>And there is outside reinforcement that can push a routine too far. People saying, “You’re so good. You’re so disciplined. I wish I could be that disciplined.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Royce Gomez-King brought up TikTok and how easy it is for that to drag you down a rabbit hole. (I was on Grappling with the Grey recently talking about how TikTok is designed to be addictive).</p> <p> </p> <p>There are certainly things that need to be habits and routines to keep life running smoothly. Based on this conversation, it is easier to slip out of a good habit than it is to undo a bad one. Joey mentioned noticing what happens right before the thing that isn’t working. Sometimes that is a good indicator.</p> <p> </p> <p>How do you know if your have a healthy routine or an unhealthy obsession?</p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with the panelists: Royce Gomez-King: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roycegomezking/</p> <p>Owner at Your Start up Coach – where she a marketing strategist and social media</p> <p> </p> <p>Amanda Bolos: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-bolos-a77940262/</p> <p>With a bachelors degree in psychology, Amanda runs an online fitness coaching business specializing in serving women post disordered eating achieve their fitness and health goals while creating a more sustainable lifestyle.</p> <p> </p> <p>Joey Robert Parks: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeyrobertparks/</p> <p>He has Written 32 books. 29 as a ghost writer Known for listening deeply to others, giving structure and meaning to their stories, and lending his words as t
