The meaning of DAILY RITUALS

August 28 2022

Before starting talking about rituals, we need to make a distinction between daily routine and rituals. Sometimes we are so used to do a specific action that we start to believe it is our Ritual. The truth is that they are two distinct things; you know what makes them different? The way you think about it. A daily routine is a series of tasks you have to complete every day, sometimes, those habits might seem boring because it's something you have to do, but the truth is that your routine help your brain to keep you focused and organized. Rituals, instead, are something that bring meaning, learning and joy to your life. They are similar, in a certain way, but a daily ritual it's different in its intentions. Daily rituals are meaningful practices, intentionally motivated, and they can provide purpose, structure alongside energy and enjoyment. A ritual is a selected way of doing an action with intention and always come with a positive side effect too.

How to find your ritual?

There’s a balance to be found with routine and rituals. Obviously we must keep doing things that need to be done, but, you'll be surprise by the fact that you can find things in your routine that can become rituals. Those rituals can help us re-connect with ourself, and also, they can take the boredom or the stress out. We can even feel connected to our pupose and achieve our goals through them.

HOW TO TRANSFORM ROUTINES INTO RITUALS

First of all you have to find the right attitude and perspective. I found helpful doind some of these things:

1- DAILY AFFIRMATIONS | positive statements that can help you to challenge and overcome negative thoughts.

2- SELFCARE | few moments during the day where you take care of yourself,you can write, you can meditate, or you can do your skincare.

3- CONNECT TO A BIGGER PURPOSE | take a step back and see the big picture and purposes behind your daily routines, and how they improve your life as a whole.

4- GRATITUDE | being fully present and aware of who you are, where you are, what you are doing and be thankful for things you already have in your life.
