Morning Rituals

A morning ritual to bring peace, connection and mindfulness

Every morning I wake up a little bit earlier than I need to so that I can sit quietly and tune in. Then I ask myself what I’m grateful for, and what already brings joy into my life.

It’s amazing what pops up, and the feeling I have is of calm, peace and contentment. It kind of feels like I’ve already achieved something that day, by appreciating what I already have.

My daughter came in while I was doing the exercise this morning and we had the most lovely cuddle. I was so present with her, it felt so lovely, and very connected.

These little morning rituals are a great way to start your day with intention and mindfulness. Before the morning routine gets you in a fluster, before the Monday blues hit, just spending some quiet time with my favourite hot drink, my notebook and looking out over the garden, gives me a feeling of wellbeing.

What your morning ritual that makes you feel good? Let’s share our self love habits.

When we find ourselves at loggerheads with someone, it is so easy to act from that feeling of hurt. However, if we can, it is great advice (which I still don’t always remember in time myself!) to take a breath, step back, change your activity, get some space, and revisit it later when we are feeling more calm. Then try to put ourselves in that other person’s shoes and understand where they are coming from. Even if we believe them to be wrong, they don’t, and it is important to validate their feelings and let them feel heard. Hopefully this act of grace will be reciprocated, and it starts a more amicable communication channel where both parties can try to find a resolution.
