Small rituals that lift a grey morning

A ritual is a habit that you enjoy. That is the whole difference, and it is why rituals last when routines do not.

Start with something warm

Make a drink you like and sit down with it for five minutes before you look at a screen.

Let in light and air

Open a window or step outside. Morning light helps to set your body clock for the rest of the day.

Choose one intention

Decide how you want to feel by lunchtime. Then choose one action that makes that feeling more likely.
