Rituals 101
A fun time to review, renew or revitalize your rituals is at the start of the New Year. Some questions to consider to help you refresh and recreate your rituals:

1. What are the current rituals in your life? Consider those present on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis.

2. Review these rituals. Which truly reflect where you are in your life today? Which are no longer part of your life today? Which rituals do you want to keep? Which would you like to eliminate?

3. Consider your goals for next year. What rituals would you like to add which will help you meet these goals?

4. Rewrite your list of rituals. On the 1st of the year, implement them!

Consider completing this exercise with (or for) your care recipient. Do you have any similar or shared rituals? What can you learn by comparing your list of rituals?
