Episode 5: My winter morning rituals

Eartha Kitt

This week we are exploring how we honour our journey with a focus on rituals, specifically winter morning rituals. On our missions to do stuff in life, sometimes we can get caught up in the day to day, without pausing to take stock. You know, practicing being. Present. In life. And all its glorious messiness. Rituals really help me to anchor me to the moment and honour the journey. Present and intentional. So this week, as i've just returned from hosting our Winter Warmer Retreat, i'm sharing my winter morning routines with you, in case they are useful somehow. 

So expect unexpected crush admissions 💦, a run through of the things that help me stay present each day, in the hope you can adapt and create your own rituals that help you feel present and glorious.

Lots of encouragement to do you, meet yourself wherever you’re at, and reminders that you can design your own rituals your way. Kind of like building a bagel. So be free with your cravings, eh? Indulgence!
