I am a pretty scheduled person.  I try to keep my days somewhat predictable and really thrive with structure.  

It’s not that I schedule every second of every day. I know the importance of carving out “me” time and all that jazz but sometimes it can lead to being too stringent and not always able to go with the flow when things change. 

But adding spontaneity is not just an important way to destress, but also a way to become more accepting and inviting of the unexpected. 

Just because you don’t want to randomly go skydiving or buy last-minute plane tickets to a foreign land doesn’t mean you’re being spontaneous wrong. Your idea of spontaneous might be hitting up a new restaurant instead of making your usual Tuesday night special, or calling an old friend you haven’t spoken to in ages. You don’t have to be a certain height to take the ride – you just have to think outside the box.
