It is true that we are in an era where we constantly seek for wellness and have a greater state of consciousness about what happens to us; but we also know that in times of turbulence, even the mountains tremble. Mercury retrograde, full moon, March with the beginning of everything and suddenly, the week passed over you and the level of fatigue does not help.
We know that positive energy is not always in sight, that’s why we share 5 micro rituals that you can use in those days when life seems very complicated and harmony looks far away.
Change the way from home to work
Only by changing the route you take every day, will make you feel like you start the morning in a different way. If you go by bus or metro you can look for an alternative combination, if you go by car, it is an opportunity to discover a good shortcut, we even recommend you offer a neighbor or friend to do carpooling during the week to change the way you get to work.

Take 15 minutes without your cell phone
When was the last time you turned off your cell phone? The truth is that being connected has become an addiction and a perfect excuse not to stop even a minute to stir important ideas in our head. On the contrary, we have a permanent need to check emails, whatsapp, instagram, the photos we take, the calendar, etc,. We are not going to lie, it is also difficult for us. But a couple of weeks ago we started experiencing the exercise of putting our phones under “do not disturb” mode during a specific time of day. It works best if we are having something that we love, like coffee, juice or a good tea. Without the cellphone as a distraction, we can concentrate on taking each drink savoring the moment and stretching the sensation of the mental blank just thinking that during those 15 minutes, nothing else exists in the world.
* Bonus track, it helps a lot if you set an alarm that sounds when you want to reconnect so your mind relaxes by not having to be controlling the time.
Listen to new music
Are you the one who loves to listen good music? Then surely it happens to you that you usually hear the same thing, over and over again and even the spotify algorithm recommends the same thing that no longer has a surprise effect on your brain. If this sounds familiar, then we have a recommendation for you that does not fail: Write to your friend or someone that you have not seen for a long time but that you fully trust their musical taste and ask them to share a playlist. Surely they’ll have a favorite one like yours, but it is very likely that it will bring pleasant surprises.
