I like to enjoy little rituals every day. Like making my first cup of coffee. I choose the bean, grind them in my hario manual grinder (takes some time and effort), choosing if I should brew it using AeoroPress (for espresso/americano) or french press.

Also in the evening I like to take a long shower and reflect on the day gone by, what went good and bad, try to figure out why and what I can do the next day to make the good things happen more and the bad things less. After that I sit a while in my favorite chair and either watch one of my regular shows on TV or read a book, depending on the mood.

In between these two my days can be quite stressful and one day is rarely like the other, which is why I think it's important with daily rituals - even if you're not religious, it's just a thing I learnt keeps me in a much better mood. I try to think of them as quite holy rituals, as I'm always amazed at how calm and collected deeply religious people I've spoken with tend to be, which I think is much down to the psychological effect of rituals (and also in being able to have faith in a power larger than you - which I sadly cannot).

Edit: also hello hubski - I really like the "tempo" of this site, think I'll stay.
