seems like morning/evening rituals are particularly important also meal rituals ive noticed that when i stretch in the morning i feel better through the whole day + its a good way to wake up might expand that seed into a whole yogaish thing

notably, i dont have any sort of cleaning ritual might be related to this somehow: https://twitter.com/imhinesmi/status/1231070497728802818?s=20 … but i *do* have a ritual to avoid doing things: i just overthink it forever (see tweets 2&3 in this thread for an example)

i use checklists for lots of things, and they work, but they feel wrong somehow. profane probably has to do with the drill sergeant thing earlier so how do i implement rituals without using them?

perhaps rituals grow in strength from the effort and intention put into them, rather than simple repetition or maybe I should finally go read up on how TAPs work
