Rituals
I have this course to thank for finally being able to make hold and enjoy a ritual.
Back in March or April I was set on somehow becoming a doula and this organization blessedly popped up on my dads search feed, this ultimately led me into a deep rabbit hole of coming to the conclusion that if I wanted to help then I needed to be at 100%. It was an immediate type of thing. Suddenly I was waking up to my first alarm at 6:15AM when I’ve always had so much trouble with 7 different alarms over two hours every morning, 8-10 AM. Then it was taking care of my body. Slightly hot water with honey dissolved in it for allergies first thing, Washing my face then using simple care products, starting bible study up again and doing it early in the morning outside on our deck for fresh air and Vitamin D.
It even benefited my family! I began brewing coffee and our before dad had to go to work, letting him leave early now for the drive each day.
This picture comes from my first walk in ages and my first ever walk longer than a mile in my own. Almost 6 miles in two sittings, but it gave me exercise, a chance to get out of my house, and let me get some fun treats to motivate my studies here with the rest of you all! I have SMC to thank for giving me a purpose to have a purposeful time with my now beloved rituals.
