Adding Rituals Into Your Life
Magic in your mundane.
Ritual can be defined as a religious or solemn ceremony consisting of a series of actions performed according to a prescribed order. It is a ceremonial act or set of actions that can be used to achieve a desired outcome.
Rituals can be used to:
~ ground yourself
~ move through heavy emotions
~ calm your nervous system
~ create the feeling of ‘home’ wherever you are
~ create predictability to trigger your brain to tell my body that it is safe
~ feel connected to others & your environment
~ achieve the things you want in life
~ connect with your Higher Self
~ find magic in the mundane
So what kind of rituals can you add into you life?
* Meditation practice: this can be done morning or evening. it can include breathing exercises, affirmations, burning of sage, working with crystals, sitting in silence to reflect or set intentions or simply using a guided meditation
* Connecting with others: loneliness contributes to higher rates of depression, anxiety & can contribute to poor physical health. could you create a tradition around connection with family & friends? this could look like going for a surf & coffee with your best mate every Saturday morning or heading to the farmers markets with your partner every Sunday to do groceries for the week
* Morning routine: how can you make your morning routine a little more productive & enjoyable? figure out some of your goals. weight loss, flexibility, healthier eating, more water consumption, more time in nature {whatever it may be} & create a ritual around them to make it more enjoyable & productive
My current morning ritual:
~ after I wake, have a big glass of lemon water to flush toxins & hydrate followed by a detox tea
~ walk for 30 minutes in nature
& swim in the ocean
~ put kettle on + stretch
& enjoy my morning coffee with medicinal mushrooms
~ shower & run cold for last minute
Desired outcomes: reduce inflammation & connect with nature & Self daily
Try adding some magic into your mundane!
