Rituals help us to stay grounded, balanced, and calm in an ever-changing and busy world. If you feel rundown, or stress is starting to affect you physically, pull back and assess. Are you putting yourself first? Are you building strength or avoiding pain? What’s one thing you can do today to take better care of yourself?
The key with ritual is to start simply and slowly add on. Here are just a couple ideas to incorporate into your day:
- A cup of coffee/tea with some quiet when you wake up.
- Stretching at night.
- 10 minute walk on lunch break.
- A daily planning sheet before diving into work.
- Turn phone on airplane mode around 5:30 pm to start dinner and welcome your family home.
- Yoga class every Monday.
