We tend to find security and well-being in the routines we set forth, and manage accordingly. In doing so, we are truly fulfilled when we experience what we sense is most comfortable or predictable. It’s not that we become boring as we age- rather experience gives us boundaries and parameters in which to operate our daily lives and relationships. There’s nothing wrong with operating in your own comfort zone; it is truly the path of least resistance.
