A group of women whom I provide consultation to were discussing the value of beginning each day with a ritual such as starting the day off with an inspirational reading, journaling, meditation, yoga, a mindfulness walk, etc.
These rituals help to center us, prepare us, remind us of what’s most important to pay attention to during the coming hours, and can even carry us beyond our every day lives and into sacred space.
In “A Thousand Clowns” by Herb Gardner, the character Murray Burns advises,
“You have got to own your days and name them,
each one of them, every one of them,
or else the years go right by
and none of them belong to you”
I’m grateful for the reminder of the importance of morning rituals and will recommit to consciously greeting and claiming each new day.

Thanks so much for including my post here! Morning rituals set the tone for the day and should be changed just as life changes. Here’s to starting the day off on the right foot!! 🙂
