Morning rituals

To enjoy the beauty of living, rituals can help us pause and embrace the moment. I feel like rituals bring focus and make a small part of the day mine. It lets me feel creative and like the day isnt just taking me away with its crazy and fun activities.

I know many people enjoy the early morning, the rising of the sun. I’ve not been one of them, I like lazing in bed, taking a stretch, having a cuddle with my fur babies and then I’m up.

So I could have named this post, Morning Rituals for the lazy lady (don’t get upset please! I’m kidding).

What kinds of things do you already do in the morning? Lets start there, and we can kinda ‘batch’ as the productivity hackers say. Lets add a ritual to something we already do, put them together and see what happens.

I’ll start with me, that’s easy.

I always make a small pot of tea. Currently my teapot is a mix of Monista’s French Earl Grey and Freres Mariage French Breakfast Tea (thanks T for suggesting mixing them!!!). 1 small teaspoon of each into my pot and mmmmm DIVINE! Enough caffine to wake me up gently.

While the pot is boiling I put oil in my diffuser, I am all about nice smells! Currently loving this LOVE blend by Sacred Wild Divine from Etsy. Its a blend of Rose, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Bergamot, Geranium and sweet almond oil. It is heaven to have these scents wafting through my kitchen.

Then I sit down with my tea and write. I write about life, about things I’m trying to understand, I read an inspiration passage or some poetry and I review my values. I check my diary and try to make sure I’m organised for the day (this is often hit and miss! LOL).

So its simple:

Make Tea

Put oils into diffuser

Write, journal, create, review.

Can you read this and find something here that resonates? That feels right for you?

Can you find a ritual to make the day beautiful, adding a moment to the ordinary to make the day feel like its yours.

I think you can.
