The Comfort Zone


Listen Later

We all have things that make us comfortable.   A certain chair, a certain pair of jeans or even a particular blanket can help us feel nice and warm and safe.   We also have certain routines that bring us that same feeling.  For some it is that ceremonial first cup of coffee, or the routine of folding clothes a certain way or even the routine of the route you take to work or school every day.  These routines are sometimes called habits and no matter what you call them, they are a comfort and almost joyful feeling for you.

For this of us on the spectrum, routines help define us.  We rely heavily on our routines to give life structure and surety.  We lean on them because they help keep the mind ordered.  Routines can be good things and they can also become a hindrance when living in the NT world without our realizing it.
