Rituals are grounding. They allow us to be present amidst the mayhem of everyday life. These are some rituals to allow you to begin and end your day in a lovely way. Try them out and see which ones you like!

Morning Rituals

  • Start your day with joy! Hug a loved one or pet, dance to your favorite song, or wish a friend a magical day

  • Take time to celebrate yourself and be proud of yourself

  • Drink your favorite coffee or tea and really enjoy it

  • Set an intention for the day

Evening Rituals

Creating bedtime rituals and routine is an excellent way to improve your sleep -- and ultimately --  your entire life. By practicing just one of these each night, you are telling your body, mind, and soul that it is time to rest and restore for the next day. Sleep is a magical time for rejuvenation and healing. Practicing these rituals can help make bedtime even more powerful. 

  • Prepare your environment for a restful sleep 

  • Write a list of the main priorities for the next day and put it away before bed 

  • Listen to calming music 

  • Meditate 

  • Journal 

  • Practice mindful breathing 

  • Read
