Hey guys, I wanted to give back to the community since u guys have helped me a lot in the past month or so.
This may not be for everyone but it's something that I do that I kind really helps settle my mind before I start my day.
I like to wake up in the early morning before the sun rises, and light a few taper candles with a candleabra and perch it on my desk, then I like to pull out my journal and write an entry summing up the past week or so or maybe draw a bit. I usually sit right next to a window so I can watch the sun rise in the morning.
it really helps to just watch the beauty of the sun rise with ethereal lighting from something that isn't digital. I typically don't sleep or check my phone when I do this, as I like to avoid social media to start off my day. I find that I'm a lot calmer and level headed.
I also like to take the time to write a list of things I need to acomplish within the day. Especially since I'm still in online school and focusing can be difficult with my ADHD brain. It's kinda a blessing and a curse lol. I'm able to be a lot more imaginative and spontaneous in my art and writing, but sitting down for a long period of time can be difficult.
So what are some calming rituals that you guys do that help? I'm curious to learn about new things, and I hope that this can help someone else in the meantime.
