a six or seven would be nothing worth mentioning. There can be comfort in the mid-range. There is less stress as we move through our day with or our routines. The radio alarm clock goes off without exception. Coffee made to your specification and the morning news offers the normal state of affairs.
You probably have a routine, perhaps you are aware, and maybe you are on autopilot and do not consider these daily activities as life fulfilling. Good habits can ease stress by removing a lot of decisions. You don't have to think about brushing your teeth and general hygiene. Perhaps you go to the grocery store the same day every week and make a menu. Do you exercise, do you meditate or write in a journal every day? I suspect you take the same route to work and see the same faces as you start your day; perhaps you can rely on a smile and "good morning."
So what if today was just another day. Nothing special, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing particularly good or bad.
Can we be grateful for these days too? I think so! We allowed ourselves to have room for creative thinking. We brought order and predictability to our life, and as a result, we promoted a healthy lifestyle.
I will consider "getting out of my comfort zone" at another time, but today, I am grateful for the same old sixes and sevens.
