Todd Henry is an author and motivational speaker focused on finding and strengthening the connections between creativity, passion, and productivity. In a post from his blog, Henry explains that though routines or practices can be helpful in reaching our goals, clinging to our habits too tightly can stifle our creativity. In his view, allowing space for our daily rhythms and intentions to change helps our creative output flourish rather than flounder. As we go about chasing our dreams, it’s important to remember that while ritual can be comforting, it’s also OK — and even necessary — to switch things up sometimes.
