The Law of Rhythm teaches that everything in nature moves in cycles… there’s a rhythm and repetition to it all. It reminds me so much of my sons’ routines—everything from their morning habits and daily schedules to their yearly holiday traditions. They’re as predictable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.

Recently, my husband shared with me how much he enjoys having a steady routine, and honestly, the longer I live with him, the more I’m starting to enjoy it, too… to a certain extent.

But let’s be real—I’m also the poster child for the Law of Rhythm with a twist. I love change. Change, to me, is like life hitting the refresh button. It disrupts the usual flow in the best way. I get bored easily, so when I sense change coming, I get excited—because it means something new is on the horizon. I’m constantly seeking ways to improve myself, my life, and my surroundings. Sound familiar?

Quick side note—I once met a mom who was really frustrated because her daughter had completely stopped playing in her room. She said, “She just doesn’t go in there anymore.” Right away, I wondered if her daughter might be wired like me—someone who needs a change of scenery now and then to feel re-energized. When I was little, I used to rearrange my bedroom almost every weekend! So, I suggested she switch things up in her daughter’s room—reorganize it, move some toys around—and sure enough, she called me the next day thrilled because her daughter was back in her room, happily playing.

Not all of us are naturally comfortable with rhythm and routine. Some of us resist it, while others thrive in it. But no matter where you fall, this law is always at work. And once you start to notice its patterns—whether in nature, your family, or even your own energy—you might just come to appreciate its wisdom a little more.
