You are doing well prioritising and dedicating time to things that are really important for you right now. Everything else will just come together on its own. I am absolutely with you about not making writing a burden. I absolutely love writing but, as I tend to do, sometimes I am too hard on myself and that completely defeats the purpose of writing. Yours and Revisionista's words really resonate within me. Let's make writing fun and pleasurable.<br /><br />Good luck with all your goals. About the ritual, I would say, just start small and manageable. If you take pleasure on it, it will happen again and again and then it will become a ritual. <br />I really feel like I have missed out so much with this reading ban week. I look forward to reading to your blog again. It's so full of life!Viennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17791600858674738910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399975357214970817.post-35092427178801584292009-07-18T13:07:53.651-04:002009-07-18T13:07:53.651-04:00So many things going on!

There is so much wonderful inspirational goodness out there, it is easy to sign up for everything and then just feel like you're not doing any of it justice.<br /><br />My morning ritual is stuck on three things: make tea, write morning pages, turn on computer. Okay four: the first thing I do is stumble downstairs in a haze. Maybe that's it - how much has to go into a ritual before it actually becomes a ritual? What about making a Tiny Morning Ritual?<br /><br />What about making your rewards this week all free? Like, putting all the Tranquility Du Jour/Hip Tranquil Chick podcasts on creativity together for an intense hit of goodness? Making a facial mask out of pantry ingredients for an at-home spa evening? Treating yourself to breakfast in bed on Sunday morning and reading only the "fun" sections of the Sunday paper?KKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566411831919745436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399975357214970817.post-81861084940959868742009-07-15T22:59:53.287-04:002009-07-15T22:59:53.287-04:00your journaling sounds like so much fun. & i t...your journaling sounds like so much fun. & i think you're absolutely right about wanting writing to be pleasurable and not a burden. i try to keep the novel in that pleasurable realm, which makes it so much easier to actually make progress with it.<br /><br />as for a morning ritual, you might try super small by just taking the time to write down your intention for the day in your plannerpad or journal. or if you don't have a lot of time, you might take your ritual into the shower (cup of green tea, a candle, some deep breaths, your favorite shampoo/wash, and maybe a small ntbk or your journal so you can record any random thoughts after you're done).Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05785573422454112815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399975357214970817.post-80844398066501696412009-07-15T15:35:11.020-04:002009-07-15T15:35:11.020-04:00Yay on your journaling.
