ritual 06: create a gratitude bowl

ritual is so very important to me – and I LOVE sharing different ways to invite a little of its magic into your home.

so, here is one of my favorites that I shared in my advanced BYOFSC course this week:

choose a beautiful bowl. gather several strips of paper – go for a couple different colors!

select a pen that will be used for this ritual only. place your “supplies” near the front door – in the entry or a room nearby.

for 27 days, every time you (and anyone else who lives in the home) walks by this bowl, write one gratitude statement on a piece of paper and place it in the bowl. this can be direct gratitude for something current in your life; it can be forecasted appreciation; or it can be an opposite acknowledgment of something you would like to detour / avoid.

at the end of 27 days, take all the strips and either (a) burn them in the fireplace / fire pit / fire; or (b) bury them in the backyard / potted plant.

allow yourself full appreciation as you’re writing down your statements. the fuller your gratitude, the stronger your magnetism. and as you release or plant them, know you are courting change (through your enthusiasm) with the cosmos! xo
