For the Good: The Power of Life Changing Rituals

It is said that a lot of our beliefs and expectations about daily life are encoded into habits that we integrate into our regular commitments and tasks – like your Solve puzzle ritual.

From Gilbert Ross, in his article entitled “7 Morning Rituals to Empower your Day and Change your Life”, 

“The most common trait of highly successful people is the recognition of the power they have in co-creating their reality through changing the way they think, believe or expect their reality to be.  One of the most effective ways of changing our belief patterns is through practicing and maintaining daily rituals. 

Ancient traditions had clearly understood the power of rituals in reinforcing habits and changing the way we see and create our reality a long, long time ago.  Once again, if you look into the life history of any highly successful individual, you will find some form of ritual in his or her daily routine.  Some of these rituals may seem banal or eccentric but don’t be deceived by appearances.  Rituals are one of the most effective self-empowering tools freely available.”

Ross goes on to say that morning rituals are extremely effective in empowering your day since they help you charge yourself up before it all starts!

Other effective morning rituals he suggests that start can your day on a positive note:

• Feeling gratitude and appreciation - one of the most overlooked or underestimated rituals
• Affirm your goals in writing or drawing – a concrete structure of action to follow
• Qi Gong exercises – “Qi” means life force or energy, Qi Gong is a set of simple exercises aimed at increasing your health and vitality
• Hot Water with Lemon –helps to eliminate toxins and balance pH levels in your body and a good source of Vitamin C
• Listen to Uplifting Music – charges us emotionally and tunes us in to a positive outlook

Rosabeth Moss Kanter said about rituals, “Throughout human history, people have developed strong loyalties to traditions, rituals and symbols.  In the most effective organizations, they are not only respected but celebrated.”

Team Solve encourages you to embrace your Solve puzzle daily ritual that can add positive flow to your day and allow time to focus and succeed.
