Consistency, Routine, and CHAOS

Chaos (K-os... I did spell check this word.  I was worried and unsure and then decided it was wrong to question my spelling since I am normally right on and have a spelling bee award to prove it!)

Chaos exists.  It is everywhere and in everything and at times, it seems as if we have been thrown under the "bus".  A lot of us have lots of different things to throw into the mix of our pandemonium but how we decide to handle those situations and what we rely on to bring us out of the tornado of words, gossip, actions, and annoyances is where we find balance and grab those barrings we need to respond in our happy, positive, awesome way!
This kind of feeling exists.. with various times for all of us and it slams us right in the face... I mean, if I think about it, this was my yesterday... in the end I responded well.  Thank goodness for technology and simple closures.  

Chaos fights with us to have us lose ourselves in situations which take us out of our normal, stable being and has us react under the influence of thoughtlessness and emotions....  Emotions suck (seriously, they can suck who we are right out of us without us even knowing it).  Acting out of emotion leads to bad things.  When you feel as if you may be ready to act out because of how you feel at that moment, stop, ask yourself if that is the person you are and would feel confident in doing... and then.... DO WHAT DEFINES YOU.  (I am not saying I don't agree with emotions.. they find us love, give us butterflies, make our armpits sweat, and imply that we may have a speech impediment of stuttering... but for them to define our actions consistently is a way to lose ourselves too much)

What DEFINES you can be lots of different things... and it is because of your differences that you are cherished.
Many of us stay grounded because of the consistency and routines we have that go 'unknowing' in our lives.  They are the activities that we MAKE the time for.
We do them without thought or emotion, we do them without even thinking they make up a part of our day, daily.
Sometimes we mix it up a bit....  after school workout vs AM, which is never the same but sometimes you have some inner demons to get out in your own pool of sweat, with your own barbell, and even though you set the clock you don't really care about the time just the amount of pull ups you can do without the band.. sometimes you want to say FORGET the time and that is hard to do with the large group... 


What is important about consistency and routine is that at one point throughout our day it is truly about us.  You.  This part of your day is your time, your option to take advantage of ... and closing the door to the bathroom is alright (whatever you are doing in there is not for me to question), but I think you can do better.
I think you have to do better.
Don't over-analyze this.
It isn't meant to be anything ridiculous or seen as a hassle... most of you already have this in your life but maybe it needs a bit more, like 15 minutes of something more...
How you define 'more' is up to you... I can think of lots of things that take 15 minutes to be successfully completed and yes, this can include another you just can't can't talk... (remember this is about you and your well-being of sorting the madness.)

SO:
What makes it all work for you?

Maybe some of this will help:
This is how we spent our Saturday.... Remember, you are ALWAYS welcome up here in Rapids!
