What Would You Rather?

The same routine please. I hate surprises, even good ones. I rather get to a happy place and stay there.

Hi LovingMyBabies, Yes, it depends. There are routines that i like to be done the same way. And, there are some routines that i think needs to be changed. If a routine becomes boring, i need to change.

Since i became a victim of Muscular Dystrophy 40 years ago and now leading a retired and wheelchairbound and compulsory homebound life i am forced to lead a regulated and routine life day in and day out.However and surprisingly my daily routine has never caused me to be either bored or sick of my life.In fact every day brings new challenges which ilike to face and solve in the best way i can.You will not believe but i have not left the 4 walls of my house since 1992 and i have absolutely no idea what is happening outside my house.Yet i am happy with my present state of existence and would not want to change it for anything.

The way you describe yourself, is just like myself. Of course I would like to improve myself, or make myself better. But compared to the unknown, I would rather have the routine day to day. I think it is borne out of being a control-freak for a little bit. Because when it is routine, at least I could have control over my life. And I could predict where it is headed.

i love routine. having bipolar disorder i thrive on routine. without routine i get anxious and panicking, and will probably cancel whatever change is happening so in order to get my routine back.. i do like spontanious things to happen, but only if they are spontanious.. if its something different planned ahead of time.. i end up dreading it as time goes on.

I would rather have a life filled with change as I find the same routine every day tedious and boring. Also, I find being spontaneous can be fun and exciting

I still believe in living life to the fullest. Though it is quite a boring world where I live in I try to inject some changes to my life like going round to other places of interest just for a change of environment. Yes, I want to see a change of my lifestyle and to fill my life doing something that I truly enjoy. I am fed-up of living my day to day existence imprisoned within the four walls of my home. Since the children have left the nest, it is time to reward myself with a ME time of fun and pleasure with friends of my age.

I have had both and now I am very content to have it boring! Maybe not so boring as in order. No surprises! I had alot of them when my kids were teens. The best part right now is to hear my own kids talk about some of the "surprises" my grandkids are giving them now when they are now at the same ages as when they offered me a few "surprises"! LOL.....love it!

I'm laid back but I also like a little excitement once and while nothing too crazy but a little change now and then would be welcome in my life because lately my life seems like the film Groundhog Day lol I get bored quick and I'm the kind of person who can't stand doing the same things over and over again life is not meant to be stagnant or boring life is meant to be lived to it's fullest and enjoyed, and also I think it's meant for us to leave our mark and contribute to the world in some way Life is short and before we know it it's over, and on to the next stage, I think being stagnant is a waste and not a part of gods plan but if we choose to be content doing nothing our creator will allow it because free will is part of living that said I prefer a life of leaser when it's needed but I enjoy new experiences as well.

I prefer some solid daily routines in my mundane life as a secure base with some added changes coming into my life. I like to learn new skills. When I've learned the basic knowledge I find new areas to discover and to explore for new knowledge to absorb. By interacting with people worldwide I learn new things.

I want my life is filled with diversity. I do not want every day to be uniformity and the same. I think I'm just accustomed every day to have a bunch of tasks and when there is nothing to do die just boredom. Have a nice day!

Hello lovingmybabies, I am not the person like you i always like adventures. I don't like things to be same every day as then life will be boring. Imagine always if there is happiness around you then you will not be able to see the small happinesses. Its important that you face hard times also so that you may understand what happiness is otherwise there will be not much importance of happiness in your life. GOD also knows it thats why he has made all different seasons in a year there is summer,winter,rain etc. So for me changes are necessary to enjoy life.

hmmm.. i don't think i could last feeling so bored for my whole life.. hehe.. so i'd rather do something differently with my life.. besides it's nice to try new things also

My life is basically a routine and I live by it day after day because I'm use to it. But because my day is so predictable, it prevents me from expecting the unexpected because I'm unsure if actually ready or prepared for it. My friends are always seeking change and finding something out of the norm to do. When I do experience change, I'm always fearful and anxious but when I did experience it, I actually enjoyed it. It's alright to have your way of life but it won't hurt to try something new. You never know, change may build up to something unexpected and exciting!

When I was in middle school, we used to get in trouble everyday with the teachers or parents haha. Then, I used to think why isn't my life simple like the others have and why is it so full of challenges everyday! Now, I have a very laid back life and it is the same everyday. It's boring and now I think life before was really better haha so i think i'd rather have life with challenges or is it just coz it's not that way right now. like they say you want what you don't have.
