On Rituals and Routine ...
I’ve been sweeping every morning. Sweeping with a broom, all around our home.
I especially like to do it when the light is hitting the rooms just so…where I can see all the specks of dirt and crumbs on the floor.
It’s a calming, simple thing that I’m so surprised (and delighted!) that I enjoy.
Then I use a handheld vacuum to suction it all up. So gratifying!
It’s been become a part of my morning routine, which typically includes:
Lemon water
Meditation
Coffee and gratitude journaling
Rolling on a foam roller and lacrosse ball
When the light is right, sweeping the floors
I’ve also been getting into running again! Just for the pure joy of moving my body.
During these times of uncertainty, I encourage you to continue to include rituals and routine into your lives, as many of us are still limiting the time we spend outside our homes.
This is a beautiful reminder because oftentimes our self-care practices are the first to go out the door during times like these.
Some questions I invite you to explore:
-What rituals do you currently have that ground you? What new rituals would you like to explore?
-How can you create space for it?
-Who do you need to ask for support?
With love and appreciation,
Janice
