Create a Breathing Ritual

Today, in honor of Shine’s 5th birthday, we explore a third lesson Shine’s co-founders have learned along the way: The importance of creating rituals to reflect and rest. Join us for a 360 breathing exercise. Written by Stephanie Simpson. Voiced by Elisha Mudly.

Takeaways:
1- Rituals are small self-care buoys we place throughout our days.
2- A ritual is an act or series of actions that are repeated regularly and help us get the time and space to care for ourselves.
3- Build-in rituals throughout your day to help you stay grounded, present, and support your overall wellbeing.

Mantra: I create rituals that support me.
