Why is this good to have a routine?

为什么有规律的生活是好的？

You decide you are going to run every day.

你决定每天去跑步。

You map out a route to follow every morning. It starts flat, has hills, a curve, a park, then the home stretch. It takes around 40 minutes.

你制定了每天早上要跑的路线。开始在平坦的路上，然后到山丘，绕一个弧形，来到公园，然后是最难的部分。大约会花40分钟。

You set the alarm for the same time and the loop never varies, but every day is completely different.

你把闹钟设在同一时间，这个周期从不改变，但每一天却不相同。

That hill sure feels steeper today, doesn't it? And the park, normally placid, frustrates you. How slow everyone is moving, the obstructions in your path.

怎么这个山丘今天感觉有些陡？还有那个公园，平常都是很清静的，今天却这么闹心。怎么人们都走得那么慢？挡了我的路。

This isn't because the route is different, but because you are.

其实不是因为这条路变了，而是你变了。

You see your inner fluctuations more clearly because they stand out against the backdrop of an identical routine.

Some days you want to skip the run.

有时候，你不想跑了。

Will you?

What do you do when no one is watching but you, when this matters to no one but you?

在两个星期里，七个月，两年里，你会发现怎样的自己？

What insight will reveal itself? What knot will you untangle?

你会看到什么样的景象？你会解开什么样的心结？
