Rituals. The little tick that helps us to structure our day, order our thoughts or makes us cope with the craziness of everyday life. Even though I have a lot of rituals I follow, the most obvious one is getting a cup of coffee. Especially in the mornings, I can not really get going without a cup of coffee. It is not only the caffeine in it, it is as much the smell and the ritual itself. To me those few minutes I spend with my cup of coffee in the morning lets me escape the day. It lets me not think about what will follow during the day (especially at work) . It lets me dwell a few minutes more in a world totally composed out of my thoughts. All those small rituals give us something to hold on, something that is comforting because it is always the same, it is known, it is predictable and a moment that is just for us, which other’s may not even understand.
