I realized this morning that I’ve become very ritualistic. I used not to be. Now, every morning when I sit down to write I have a little check list I run through.
Window blinds rolled up
Tea on coaster on desk
Salt lamp turned on
Draw one Self-Care card…uh yeah, and read it
Draw one Power of Intention card and read
Dogs and cat in the office (or sometimes not if they prefer the couch downstairs)
Internet connection off (too distracting)
CD playing that fits mood of what I’m writing (optional)
Three deep breaths to open myself to the book
At first I thought maybe I was just getting old and set in my ways :[but instead I think it’s my signal to my brain to get ready to roll into creative mode.
Anyone else have daily rituals they go through before they start work (other than rolling out of bed and showing up for the party 
)?
