Exactly! Thank you for this insight! Rituals — like your reading — also have a set place in the space & time of our lives. It’s a thing we look forward to — like my coffee or my ice cream. I think rituals also allow for some introspection. Habits are one level above a compulsion, in my mind. Rituals contain a dollop of mindfulness and have the ability to take us outside of ourselves — for just a moment or two. But it’s enough.

Thanks so much for reading & sharing your wisdom, David. I always appreciate seeing your name in my comments. Have a wonderful week!
