A ritual is so much more than a mundane morning, evening, and even lunch time routine. Rituals are about creating an energy and invoking a feeling around something you enjoy and taking the time for something important to you.In Tranquilista: Mastering the Art of Enlightened Work and Mindful Play
author Kimberly Wilson offers ideas for creating a morning ritual, along with a plethora of tranquil musings. Now, I am not a morning person, not even on my best day, so I choose to create an evening ritual. The morning rituals sound marvelous in theory, but I know myself well enough to know they would soon become a chore. With an evening ritual, on the other hand, I seek to create a soothing energy and invoke a restful feeling by soaking in a lavender scented bath before delving into a few simple Yoga poses.
Whether you choose a morning, afternoon, or evening ritual make it a time you look forward to every day. It can be as simple as lighting a soy candle before you savor writing in your journal or a moment of meditation to set your intention for the day.
