Humans are creatures of habit. For one's lifestyle to improve, the key is to form good habits and rituals. Wiccan rituals to Improve Your Life need not be religious in nature. Rituals are simple habits that are meditative in nature that in a way resets your messy state of mind.
There are good and bad rituals of course. Religious ones are keepers. So are those having to do with health and fitness. Then there are many that denote who we are such as a hobby or area of interest. But when you become obsessive and your to do list takes a week to write, it's time to take stock of oneself.
Self-improvement is always an important goal, although not so easy to implement. Old, bad habits get in the way. You have to make a conscious effort to begin a program that will survive the onslaught of old ways. You can't do it if you are not relaxed and ready to absorb change.
Think and ask yourself how you cope with stress. Some, it can be simple as drinking water. Others go for a walk or go shopping. These activities are forms of rituals and you are not just aware of it. However, we do not aim to burn a hole in your pocket by encouraging retail therapy or damaging your lungs through smoking. Rituals must be frugal and healthy - saving you money and your sanity as well.
Building good habits and removing old ones is a good form of personal therapy. Everyone can do it, and so they should. Make a list of the positive and negative aspects of your life and as you get rid of them, you can check them off. Set up notes as reminders to yourself in your tablet or cell phone and stick to your plan.
Substitution works wonders. Go to yoga class if you want to binge on sweets. Watch a favorite movie if you crave another smoke. Do not shop at every turn when you are stressed. Visit a charity where you can make better use of the money. Slowly but surely, over time you will see a sea change in your life.
If you have an unhealthy ritual, do not stop it, replace it. Stopping it abruptly will only cause you to rebound. Replace it with something you appreciate more. If you like coffee better than nicotine, treat yourself to gourmet coffee every time you do not smoke. If you smoke at 3pm, make important appointments at 3 pm. This way, you will alter your habits carefully.
At first, it is about substitutions and a new type of gratification. Choose wisely for best results. Don't try the impossible like giving up sweets forever. It will only create stress and that is a sure trigger for more bad behavior.
