Here's my rituals:
Waking up early: I try to wake up as early as possible. Sometimes 6 am, sometimes 9 when I have worked out the previous day and body is tired.
Practicing Gratitude.
Mindfulness Meditation: I use Headspace app for this
Reading Books: I try to keep reading as often as possible. I've got e-books and audiobooks on phone to read when I'm outside. When I'm at home I've got my hardcopy books.
Editing Videos: I create videos and post them on YouTube/DTube. Mostly motorcycle and travel videos.
Steemit Blog Post: I try to write one article everyday: Share my travel stories/ something that I've learned by reading/ watching YouTube and other informational stuff.
Evening Jog: I run/walk for 3 hours everyday. I need to reduce this a bit as it seems to be having an impact on my joints. I've stopped at the moment to give rest to my legs.
Night: Push-ups and crunches.
That's my ritual!
Great post! I needed the reminder of this. I struggle so hard to keep up with my morning ritual and when I do, I feel so much more in line with my high self.
Thank you:)

I do the above every day.
I have been telling myself that I need to adopt more rituals in my life, there are things that i do to better myself all the time, but i haven't yet put them it into directed form with as much intention as you speak of. I am honored and inspired by your actions and will seek to acquire more rituals in my life, currently i only have 2. One that i wouldn't consider to be a very beneficial ritual, which is me getting up and making a cup of coffee for myself then sometimes spending time in the garden while i sip coffee and contemplate. The other ritual, which i have seen substantial results from, is that every time i have a plate of food, i sit and pray and give thanks for everything that made that food possible for me, while honoring and giving thanks to this body that is my temple.
Thanks for sharing the rituals in your life, for it has inspired me to find more rituals in mine.
Thank you for sharing your rituals, both in writing and in person. Witnessing them has been a powerful reminder of the potency of personal ritual, which I have subscribed to for some time. This topic also reminds me of the power of ritual in community, and the importance of being intentional about the rituals we decide to incorporate into our lives, both publicly and privately.
I'm excited to share some of these rituals with you, and reap the benefits of many of the others vicariously as they continue contributing to your health, vitality, peace, and alignment. :)
Lovin it! i was curious what you would share.. such a lovely wholesome set of rituals.. honouring thy self right at the top!
hope you are well! this is my first comment after the fork.. lets hope it works xx
Thanks brother! I keep thinking about adding other ones like some of my responsive rituals (when X happens, I always do this), but it's one of those things where I feel like if I start editing a post like this, I'll never stop haha.
Upvoted and resteemed. Thank you for sharing this @kennyskitchen. A lot of what you mention I do but have not really incorporated them into a routine. Between @eco-alex post on routines which referred me here, it is inspiring to see this being put out there. I know when I stay on a routine for a week or more that it has helped me stay balanced through the day. It has given me confidence and has helped majorly to enjoy my day and promote good health and confidence as well as love towards myself and others. I am now back to my routine and it has been a week. They say it takes 30-40 days to break old habits and establish new ones. I am going to stay the course this time. :-) Have a beautiful week @kennyskitchen.
Thanks @gardengranny!
The importance of choosing our own habits, rituals, and routines really can't be emphasized too much. So many humans end up running a bunch of programs that someone else wrote for them, instead of writing their own, and that is the #1 reason for so much pain & suffering in the world (I believe).
So many blessings on your journey, and feel free to drop by if you need a little dose of affirmation anytime :-) I've also collected LOTs of resources that I've found quite helpful in making changes as well.
