Even if you don't think you have rituals in your life, you do. For example, Do you brush your teeth every morning? That's a ritual. Do you eat lunch pretty much at the same time everyday? That's a ritual. Do you go to bed at the same time every evening? That's a ritual, too.
However, if you're like most people, I bet a lot of your rituals are pretty unconscious and feel more like a habit than anything more meaningful. You do them because you've always done them. But, have you ever wondered how they truly serve your life?
Rituals, or meaningful and consistent routines, are actions you take for the sake of keeping you on track and focused on the big picture you have for your life.
For example, everyday I read something that will help me grow as a business owner. Everyday! It has become such an important part of my day I always make time for it. Reading material that will help me become a wiser, more effective business owner serves my goal of building a successful business I love.
Another ritual I have is to take a mid-afternoon break, everyday, to quiet my mind and get in touch with what my gut is telling me. This time helps me reconnect to my spirit and that helps me stay on track. I LOVE this time I've made for myself. Love it!
The rituals you create should be things you WANT to do, rather than things you think you "should" do. The basic idea of a ritual is for it to be something you look forward to doing. Rituals will enhance your life and they are fun to do. Rituals are conscious actions you take that serve the life you are choosing to create.
Examples of life-giving rituals include:
*Eating a healthy breakfast everyday
*Daily reading of spiritual, personal growth and success books
*Daily quiet time
*Attending weekly mastermind group
*Lighting a candle before important conversations
*Exercising
*Twice monthly massages
*Prayer
*Giving thanks at the end of each day for the gifts that day brought your way
*Beginning each day with a plan, or intention
*Eating dinner with your family, at the table, each night
*Kissing and hugging every family member before going to sleep.
*Telling the people you love, you love them, everyday
*Flossing your teeth daily
*Taking your vitamins everyday
*Drinking lots of water everyday
The idea is for your rituals to be fun and supportive and something you WANT to do.
Success in life is a result of taking a few good actions, over and over again, until you achieve the results you want. Rituals will add substance to your actions and make life feel more meaningful.
