A Habit is how I habitually meet my need for emotional energy.
A regular habit is how I regularly meet my need for emotional energy.
A routine is a collection of regular habits.
A routine of regular habits ensures that I have sufficient emotional energy to complete my routine.
Anything outside of my routine may require more emotional energy than I have available.
A regular routine maintains my emotional energy level but it is not expansive or creative.
Habitual behaviour blocks spontaneity & creativity.
It contracts the comfort zone and disallows expansive experiences.
A creature of habit is sub-consciously driven to survive.
Creativity is not a habit.
