Yesterday, I visited Sta. Clara for my weekly check-in. She is already part of my routine, and it always gives me a sense of calm and serenity whenever I am there. I usually keep my visits there short and straight to the point. I offer eggs, ask for her intercession, and reflect on my current blessings, needs, and wants. Praying keeps me centered, and doing so at the monastery takes it to another level. It also helps that I have established it as part of my routine, so I no longer have any excuses to not drop by.
After my visit, I ate breakfast at another regular hangout of mine, Oinkster. I had their toasted naked longganisa with brown rice and egg. Of course, I paired it with freshly brewed coffee. I enjoyed reading while eating my favorite brekkie.
It was the perfect Saturday morning. Coupled with my workout, my faith x food routine is already essential to my lifestyle. Do you also have a regular routine that keeps you centered? I hope that you find yours this 2018, and when you do, keep doing it! It is fabulous to maintain positive habits for a better and more fulfilled life.
