Beauty of small rituals
The Citizen|November 22, 2024
We may not realise it, but there is something powerful about the small rituals that shape our days - the tiny, seemingly insignificant routines we often overlook.
SONJA BROWN

From brewing your morning coffee to the quiet act of journal-ling before bed, or just relaxing on your stoep while overlooking your garden, these simple habits ground us.

They provide structure in an increasingly chaotic world and create space for reflection, intention, and mindfulness.

I have realised that, in a time when life is fast-paced and unpredictable, small rituals offer stability. They are my moments of control in an otherwise hectic schedule.

For me, waking up early to enjoy a quiet cup of whatever my palate prefers on the day isn,t just about caffeine; it's about the stillness, the solitude, and the opportunity to ease into my day with intention.
