Do you have daily rituals for work / wellness / fitness / mindfulness?

Thoughts About Ritual:

The word ritual may conjure ideas of religious practice, but ritual and religion are not limited to the church. The simple act of making your morning coffee can be considered a ritual, especially if we are fully present in the making of it.

Rituals apply to many aspects of our daily life, not just making coffee. My Morning Routine can be considered a ritual. I do better when I follow a series of behaviors in progressive order - the definition of the word ritual. I have taken my Morning Routine and adapted it for the evening as well.

What does my Morning Routine look like?

  • Awake at 5:00 am - 6:00 am
  • Hydrate: 750 ml of water
  • Meditate 10-15 minutes minimum, but these days, I am in for at least 30 minutes (twice a day)
  • Educate: Read for personal growth for 20 minutes
  • Create: journal, write, brainstorm for 15 minutes
  • Exercise: Get a sweat on for 30 minutes
  • Nourish: for 30 minutes
  • Shower: hydrotherapy routine (alternate hot and cold x 3, each for the duration of one round of Happy Birthday, ending on cold)

** I leave my phone on only to listen to my meditation. No consumption of social media or other before creation **

One benefit of rituals is that they create, structure, and mark time. How? The act of performing a series of actions on a regular basis shapes the human experience over the course of our lives. Rituals create a safe vessel in which to show up. They reduce anxiety by signaling our brain's constancy and predictability.

The outcome of creating a sense of togetherness is one of the most important aspects of ritual. Groups often use rituals to create stronger bonds among members. When rituals are performed together, a sense of community blooms. Social bonding flourishes when like-minded individuals come together to practice similar activities.

It can be said of bodybuilding, where the rituals of training cement a sisterhood amongst those who practice. You're part of something bigger than yourself. As we navigate a post-Covid world, rituals may just be the answer we need to heal from the isolation and despair the pandemic fostered.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Becoming a New York Times best-selling author and helping people transform their lives and unlock their full potential.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Leading from the front 24/7. Spotting the dangers on the horizon before they get too big.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. If it doesn't matter to you, it won't matter to anyone else.
  2. Forget about the competition; there's only one you. Do the best you can.
  3. Be your authentic self, always. That's where you will be of greatest service.
