Routines

So I've found that it's very difficult to get back into a routine after breaking it for a period of time (i.e. the end of year holidays).  I wonder if there is a good way to go about re-establishing a routine, as it seems difficult to bring yourself back into it.  I'm sure it's much easier not to break it in the first place, but sometimes environmental factors come into play that don't allow that.  Getting back into my morning workout and meditation has proven difficult this week, after not doing them for the past 2 weeks. However some parts of my routine, i.e.  feeding and taking care of animals, that weren't broken (namely because I couldn't break them) have not suffered at all in difficulty continuing to do them.  I wonder if it would be easier to resume the other portions if you tie them to the ones you continued to do.  I'll give that a try and see.
