Ten Tiny Rituals

• Drink a glass of water first thing: Hydration wakes up your system gently.
• Two deep belly breaths before opening emails: Signals safety to the nervous system.
• 30-second stretch every 60 minutes: Loosens tension and boosts circulation.
• Eat with your non-dominant hand for one meal: Forces mindfulness naturally.
• Keep a 5-song “calm playlist”: A quick reset during stressful moments.
• Chew slowly — 10 extra chews: Calms digestion and slows your pace.
• Put your phone in another room while eating: Helps you stay present.
• Do a 1-minute body scan before sleep: Releases stored tension.
• Send one encouraging text to a friend daily: Connection boosts emotional balance.
• Say “I’m allowed to rest” aloud once: Rewires your permission to slow down.

Why These Work

Small, consistent rituals shift physiology and thought patterns. They bring micro-pauses into your routine that soothe the nervous system.

Simple Practice

Pick three rituals for the next seven days. Keep them tiny and repeatable. Then swap in new ones next week for variety.
