Yesterday I wrote that it is sometimes not good if people get used to do a certain thing on a certain day. Often people make rules for themselves in this way. Today Iris was joking and said that I also eat ice-cream always at the same time: after dinner. And it is true, I usually don’t eat ice-cream in the middle of the day because I like to keep my hunger for dinner and have something sweet afterwards. But I somehow see things in another way and have another attitude towards this ‘rule’. Good, this is my ice-cream time and then I am in a good mood. Even if there is no ice-cream. I will be in a good mood no matter if there is ice-cream or not. And in this way I am not depending on ice-cream to make me happy.
Today was ‘master’s day’ in India. For me a child can also be a master from whom you learn something. I was talking with the Ashram via Skype and could see and talk with my father and family. It was really nice. And today we also have distance healing and I will connect again with everybody meditating at the same time.

It seems to me to be a very helpful practice to continuously change a routine or to have as little of a routine as possible. It helps me to recognize impermanence and to notice that each moment is brand new. Sometimes my change in routine is to try having a routine. And sometimes it is to constantly change my location or habits or activities.
Yep, it’s good to not rely on a certain plan or routine. And it also gets boring when you do the same thing at the same time on the same day. Better to be spontaneous and go with the flow. You never know what exciting things will come your way!
