“Rituals and Habits”
Everyone has something that is done repetitively.
Sometimes monthly, weekly, daily, even hourly.
Sometimes they are big things—taking time.
Sometimes they are minor—taking little time.
Sometimes they are consciously done.
Sometimes they are done unconsciously.
Habits are different and usually evolve into an unconscious format. Getting up Brushing your teeth … starting the am beverage. For me, it includes checking the weather app on my phone.
Most rituals are embraced with a step-by-step process that you repeat with an expected outcome. Your habits are a type of performance … you just do them. Are they working for you?
To separate the two, think about your intentionality. What is it with either?
