ritual & routine: make light, season 4, episode 2

It’s Episode 2 of the Make Light Show, friends, and I’ve been thinking a lot about ritual and routine — specifically, that routine is a privilege, and that infusing routine and ritual in our lives is how we can feel safer, more efficient, more effective and more productive. So today, join me as I share my morning routine, and share tips and tricks with how to infuse your life with more routine and ritual.
In this episode:
How to use journaling as a way to clear your mind, including the three questions to ask yourself every morning to add purpose and meaning to your day.
The reason why making your bed in the morning can be one of the most fulfilling things you do each day.
Reference to Morning Pages, as espoused by Julia Cameron, in her book The Artist’s Way.
Reference to the wise words of Jim Kwik, as he shares his morning ritual in this video.
