And we don't have kids, but a very spoiled yellow lab, Zuzu.

So the first thing I do is I do three simple things as rituals to start the day.

I open up the blinds to let light in.

I take care of something living by taking care of feeding Zuzu.

And then I do something for someone I love.

I make coffee for Susan before she wakes.

So I invite people who are with us and watching or listening to think of your own simple rituals because when I inhabit them fully, they change the whole day.

So this brings up the difference between ritual and habit.

So when I'm present to it, I'm letting the light in, caring for something living and doing something for someone I love.

And that aligns me, going back to the will and the river, that aligns me for the day.

Now, if I'm late, I go, no, I got to open the damn blinds.

I got to feed the dog.

I love you, but ugh.

Well, that just turned into a habit.

So it's being present and open-hearted.

So the thing about self-awareness, and this is a good example of the work of self-awareness.

So I'm rushing through, I'm late.

Oh, I got to open the damn blinds.

But I can stop and go back and say, I'm going to be present and make it a ritual again.

We can do that like that.
