The definition of ritual is "a detailed method of procedure faithfully or regularly followed." Sometimes our self-enforced rituals can block our progress. Habitual patterns create boredom and each day becomes the same. Switch up your daily ritual by moving through your day making different choices. If you normally wake up at eight in the morning with the alarm clock abuzz, change your awareness to your body's natural rhythm, allowing yourself to wake with the rising Sun. If you usually reach for a cup of coffee and read your morning e-mail, make a soothing mug of tea and go outside, breathing in the possibility of the day. Go the gym every morning? Take a yoga class and experience your body as a sacred temple. Changing up our most basic rites that we adhere to without question fosters expansion and growth, allowing for fresh perspectives to move us forward in our lives. Create simple magic by being receptive to a new experience every day.
