No, there is not a new ritual I have been wanting to bring into my life. I already have a “practice” with my rituals. It’s pretty full!! Some days I am better at making enough time for my practice, some days not so much. 😕
At the start of 2026 I added reading the Bible a day for 365 days thru Asension Press. I am still struggling with the right time of day for this new practice. For some reason it has been hard for me to do this at a set time each day.
I am curious to read others responses.

No. I have morning practices, not rituals. I read poetry and come to this space. When I tried adding in writing morning pages, a recommendation in The Artist’s Way, I found those interfered with my established routine. I have the book The Daily Artist’s Way and I’m continuing to read my way through it, but not necessarily journal with the writing prompts. Maybe someday when I’m retired and don’t have time pressure nibbling at my heels in the morning.
In my improv troupe we’ve done a skit called “Ritual”. We take an everyday action like folding laundry or brushing teeth. The objective is to turn that into a ritual. Typically we slow down the movements, whatever they are, then add chanting or hand movements or dance–layer upon layer of extra things to turn the ordinary into something special, each of us adding whatever says “ritual” to us. It prompts laughter every time. Maybe today you can find laughter in approaching an everyday activity and “ritualizing” it as a game.
A new ritual would be actually listening to my intuition my instincts which is completely the universe mind and trusting the universe! Now that I have been doing this lately, it has been remarkable and I’m so grateful! Trusting and becoming the universe has been the most joyous path I could possibly ever imagine.
It’s not new, but I would like to be more regular with my meditation practice. Also, I would like to get back to calling friends, out of the blue. During the pandemic, I was in the habit of doing this. It led to so many deep discussions and reinforced connections.
As things got back to “normal”, my life got super busy, and I let this practice slip away. I miss it.
I don’t have one that I want to incorporate into my life right now. I am kind of spurt and go with the ones I do have in place. So I want to be more faithful to them.
I’ve been reading the bible App everyday on my phone over the last few months as my faith continues to grow. Now, it’s a matter of just staying the course as usual.
I began to shape a new ritual last week. I want to write someone a personal, handwritten note each week and I want a broad spectrum of people to write. Last week I began making a list. I want to choose a particular card, or paper, or postcard for each person. So I have begun the process of establishing this ritual. Writing personal notes is not new to me, however, I want to do more of it., weekly. I am inspired by the book, « Theo of Golden » by Allen Levi. Write on!🩷
As I understand myself as a kind of hunting practice. Try for a while and then quit. My upcoming challenge is to keep practicing what I’m already doing: first, visiting this site and answering the daily reflection question, and most importantly, keeping up with my daily gospel reflection. Happy Wednesday, everyone! 💐
My practice is my ritual. I don’t think there’s any new one I’ve been longing for.
I have, however, added to my weekly routine. Before my responsibilities and schedule changed at the studio, I had been going to 3 cardio-strength classes a week. It dwindled to one, and although I started teaching more classes, I noticed I just wasn’t feeling as strong. So I added in a class on Tuesday, going in early before my gentle yoga class to take it. I love it and already feel better. And since it wasn’t one I was taking before, I have met some new people which I also appreciate.
This is a new ritual for me, but listening to solfeggio frequencies and music with relaxing and meditative Hz in the mornings has really been grounding and centering me.
I love rituals – from my morning cup of coffee to seasonal decorating they bring comfort and routine. I enjoy learning other cultures too and their rituals. I can’t think of a new ritual to add at the moment but I will look forward to reading everyone’s reflections on this.
No new rituals. I have kept up several I began numerous years ago. My twice daily visit here. A daily meditation. A daily 20 minute standing yoga with Dr. Lynn Rossy, daily use of an exercise band, some planks along with some pushups. Morning coffee, feed the barn cats and Pooch, for many years. When my mind begins to wander, Bring it back to the breath. Always the breath. View the thoughts in my head as passing clouds. Not thoughts to enter a continuous loop in my head. And of course looking at all with a grateful eye. Peace, Love & Light.
After what seemed an interminable time fighting everything, I am learning the value of acceptance. What a gift! My mantra is accept what is. It brings peace.

I want to bring singing into my life. There’s a local choir practice that I can sign up for.

Great answer, Yram. Patience is very often times all we need.

That’s a very sweet ritual, I’m inspired.

My Ngoc, you’ve been doing well with making sure to come here and your gospal routine over the last week. Keep it up.

Sunnypatti, I’m with you on not having any new ones to long for. Often times, we just need better committment to the ones we’re already doing.

I forgot one nightly ritual, a tumbler of herbal tea each evening. This one has been continuous since March 1, 2022.
