When you let your rituals become a meaningful part of your day, you transform your time.
Rituals are a vital part of our human experience. They can be similar to routines, in that they are repeatable.
But at the same time, they are significantly different in the element of depth that they add to our moments.
Essentially, they introduce strong time to your experience of time. And that is powerfully transformative.
Let Your Rituals Change Your Time:
While time is concrete and finite (there are 60-seconds in every minute, no matter what), our experience of time is highly subjective. And it’s the experience of time that rituals transform.
Just take a step back and think about how your time feels to you when you have a pressing deadline that you are dreading. Isn’t that the only thing you can see on your horizon?
Your Sense of Proportion:
Now, imagine that you still have that deadline looming, but you find some quiet time, take a deep breath, and think of 3 things that you are grateful for in the moment.
When you next look at your horizon, the landscape will have been transformed. What loomed large and forbidding isn’t quite so large anymore. And that changes everything.
That’s just a very small example of what rituals can do. So, as you plan your day, it’s important to protect the time you set aside for vital, health-giving activities. And your rituals belong in that category.
You might think of them as feeding the root system of your spirit. Rituals are nourishing and sustaining. The more you choose to proactively gift yourself with these deepening and energizing activities, the more you will thrive.
