129: Combining Routines & Rituals for Holiday Peace, Calm & Joy


Listen Later

As we continue jumping into this busy holiday season, we here at the Habit Thrive Podcast are focusing on ways to bring peace, calm and joy to our days.


Today, on episode #129, we explore the difference between routines and rituals, why both are important and how to create personalized rituals that bring peace and meaning to your holiday season.


Routines - practical, everyday activities that keep us anchored - provide structure and foundation for our lives.


These are things like brushing our teeth, making the bed, and brewing our morning coffee.


Things that feel automatic.


During the busy holiday season, routines help us stay focused and give us a sense of control over our days.


Rituals - intentional practices infused with deeper meaning - remind us who we are and what we value.


For example, lighting a candle and taking a relaxing moment to reflect on the day during the hectic holiday hustle and bustle turns a simple action into a sacred pause.


Rituals help us slow down and find our joy!


So, how do you create rituals that are personal and meaningful to you?


Think about what or who brings you peace, joy or a sense of connection:


Sitting in quiet solitude?

Laughing with others?

Baking cookies?

Listening to music?

Enjoying holiday lights?

Meditative breathing while holding a warm cup of coffee or tea?


What’s important is not what the ritual is but the intention you bring to the ritual.


Explore how routines and rituals can complement each other.


Routines keep us grounded, while rituals inspire us!


You may have a routine of tidying up the house before bed.


Pair that with the ritual of lighting a candle in your clean and tidy room and reflecting on the day.


Experiment, and find what brings YOU joy!
