Some Rules Should Be Broken

A couple of weeks ago I did a blog on following arbitrary rules that really don’t make your life better – “Run The Dishwasher Twice” (https://iampurpledawn.com/2020/11/29/run-the-dishwasher-twice/).

I asked what makes you follow those arbitrary rules like “You can only run the dishwasher once, so you have to rinse the dishes first” or “you must color within the lines” or “you can’t wear plaids and stripes”?

Then I came across an article titled “You 2.0: Rebel With A Cause” ** with this quote from social scientist Francesca Gino: “I think we really need to shift our thinking. Rebels are people who break rules that should be broken. They break rules that hold them and others back, and their way of rule-breaking is constructive rather than destructive. It creates positive change.”

So again, I ask you, are you bogged down by meaningless rules? Are they a burden to you? Do they drain your energy?

As before, I suggest that you look at those things that really seem to suck the life out of you and ask yourself, “Is this really necessary to do?” Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. Maybe you can let it go and choose something different.

Then ask “What other choices and possibilities do I have here?” and listen to the whispers of possibility, watch for new choices and new possibilities to show up for you!

You may be surprised what shows up for you.

So what different choices can you choose today?

Maybe it’s time to, as Francesca Gino said: “break rules that should be broken.”

Maybe it’s time to choose what works for you!
