All the new year chatter is around healthy vs. unhealthy habits, but what if we instead framed things as “helpful” or “unhelpful”? In this episode, we’re discussing the importance of personal rituals and routines, the influence of human design on these practices, and how sometimes the most healing thing you can do is cozy up on the couch with a comfort show and takeout. We talk through the importance of listening to your body, evaluating your needs, and making the decision that feels most helpful to your present and future self.
Some key takeaways from this episode include:
A significant theme we discuss is understanding the "why" behind our rituals. Are they for self-improvement, or driven by external pressures? Maintaining curiosity and openness allows you to explore options, from gym routines or reading non-fiction to walking in nature or watching a comfort show to wind down.
Our routines and rituals are ever-evolving. Instead of chasing the “perfect” routine, allow your routines to be flexible based on what you need in that season, or even what you need on that specific day.
Even the most mundane rituals can provide some peace and meditative calm if we set the right environment for it. Try lighting your favorite calming candle, dimming the lights, and playing calming music while you do laundry or tidy your kitchen and notice how your mood changes.
