\"Daily-Rituals-That-Remind-You-Whats-Important-blog\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but most of the time I tend to see the glass as half full. I see it as half empty only when circumstances are completely beyond my realm, those instances when I can’t put a positive spin on something or figure out a way to change an outcome. Politics come to mind, but I don’t even want to go there.<\/p>\n

I have found that daily rituals help me to keep my glass on the full side. Some of my daily rituals are: exercising first thing in the morning. Eating a healthy breakfast. Drinking a satisfying cup of strong coffee with a shot of half and half. Reading a motivational or inspiration saying (I especially like the ones that appear my email inbox–here are two: http:\/\/www.queenofyourownlife.com,<\/a> which is weekly, and www.tut.com<\/a>). And then, sitting down and getting to work–writing.<\/p>\n

Writing stories is my livelihood. I am blessed that this work is also my passion. It keeps me grounded, almost like meditation. When I am working, I forget my problems and the dizzying list of busywork that fills my brain. You know what I mean– errands, appointments, phone calls, bills. Stuff that keeps me running here, there, and back again. Blech.<\/p>\n

Speaking of work, it’s time to get back to it.<\/p>\n

Until Friday, and wishing you nourishing rituals in your own life,<\/p>\n
