In this episode of therapy is cool, our therapy snack is packed with the importance of routine. Covid 19 turned our structured routines upside down. It is time now to accept the present circumstances and engage in self care. Rituals are a way to reframe the phrase "routine" to bring ourselves home. Make a daily promise to yourself to set yourself up for success for the next 7 days. We explore the ways we can create rituals, intentional about the time of day and layering on more rituals as you feel more confident keeping your promises to yourself.
