Rituals and routines are the best, aren't they!? Mine isn't much, but when I'm sitting down to write I light some incense and play Ethiopian jazz - it really sets the scene (and I think also my nervous system?) to drop into that creative zone.
I'm a Substack newbie, so glad to have come across you :)
Haha it was quite the journey to get here. But every time we think we got it figured out, the next turn you take in your life will have you figuring out from the beginning!

That's beautiful ritual! My choice is essential oils.
I'm glad that you are glad to have come across me :)
In love with these amazing rituals that you have created for yourself N!
The Open when letters and the prayer really stood out to me. I might use them as well
Thank you and keep sharing
Thank you!! You should absolutely try them. Keeps my brain from going of in tangents!
Loved reading your newsletter as always. Also, this journal by Meera Lee Patel is one that I love. It helped me stay sane during Covid :)
Thank you! Yeah, its a great self-reflection practice. Sadly, mine is still mostly empty as I prefer dumping my random thoughts on a blank journal.
Figuring all this out and accepting this is what drives me is a huge.

You always unlock the next level. You never complete the game :)
Yes! Absolutely!
