Five Minute Morning Rituals

For People Who Don't Have Time for Ritual
You don't have an hour for a sunrise meditation. You don't have an altar, or if you do, it's buried under mail. You have five minutes, maybe less, between the alarm and the moment the day starts asking things of you.
This is for you.
Ritual got a branding problem somewhere along the way. It started to mean candles and crystal grids and forty-five-minute morning pages, and if you couldn't do the elaborate version, you assumed you weren't doing it at all. That's just not true. Ritual isn't the size of the gesture, but the intention behind it. A five-minute practice done honestly outperforms a beautiful hour-long one done on autopilot.
Here are five, each under five minutes, none requiring anything you don't already own.
1. The Three Breaths Before the Phone
2. Naming the Weather Inside
3. One Sentence of Intention
4. The Hand on the Chest
5. The Doorway Pause
