The idea of “Groundhog Day,” is that you keep doing the same things each day in the same order. It is routine. Prayer can be a form of ground hogging. Do it every day and about the same time. This can be a good routine. But there can be motives for routine that are not so good. Fear and a lack of self-worth. You have to accomplish things, never taking time out for rest or relaxation, because you fear something bad will happen, or your self-worth is based completely on getting things done. One routine that deals with fear and anxiety is drinking as an addiction. Drugs and food too. It is the routine of escape rather than relaxation. If something relaxes us, like a good walk we don’t feel the need to do it again and again the same day. Addictions are repetitive in the same day. So ask yourself the purpose of your routines?
