Moments For Me - Edition 11 - Nourishing Daily Rituals


MOMENTS FOR ME

Edition 11/2024

Hello, and welcome to this week's Moments For Me!

I’m so glad you’re here. As I hinted in a recent newsletter, I’ve been reflecting on my priorities and taking small steps to build more security and ease into my days. One of my top priorities is to feel less stress and more freedom to enjoy the things I love outside of work. Over the years, I’ve had some daily rituals I’ve practised on and off, and lately, I’ve been inspired to bring these back into my life.

This week, let’s dive into the beauty of daily rituals and how they can bring us a sense of comfort and stability.


Moment #1: Self-Compassion 💛

Choose one small ritual, like making a cup of tea or stretching, and do it with care and attention. Engaging in simple rituals with a mindful presence builds a sense of calm, consistency, and peace, reminding your body and mind that they’re safe and supported.

Moment #2: Authentic Living 🌱

Create a daily habit that reflects your personality—perhaps a morning journal entry, an evening walk, or something else that resonates. One of my favourite daily rituals in the past was taking an early evening walk with one of my daughters. Rooting rituals in who you are brings you back to yourself, creating pockets of genuine connection in your day.

Moment #3: Simple, Loving Act 🕯️

Take a few deep breaths at the start of your day. This small ritual helps centre you, giving you a calm foundation as you move through the day’s busyness.


Thank you for exploring these rituals with me! Embracing even the smallest of routines can bring comfort and calm to your day. Until next time, keep making space for what nourishes you.

Emma 💞

MOMENTS FOR ME Edition 14/2024 Hi there, I'm so glad you’re here for another Moments For Me. I've been having some work done on my house lately to make repairs after a water leak a year ago.
