Summary

We will learn: How to distinguish between what's habitual and what's transformative How adding your unique signature to age-old rituals can transform your life's most important moments Why the tiniest rituals could make the biggest difference in your love life Have you ever noticed how some moments feel extra special, while others just blend into the background of your life? Things like the school bell ringing at the end of the day, blowing out birthday candles, or a even something as simple as a handshake after a deal - These are rituals, little traditions that mark important moments in our lives. If we ignore the power of rituals, we might lose touch with who we are. They reflect our choices and remind us of who we are and who we want to be. They're like a compass pointing us in the right direction. However, rituals can also become a burden if we're too rigid about them. The key is to find a balance - create your own unique mix of routines and spontaneous moments that tell your story. Every little ritual, even the ones we barely notice, shapes who we are. We're about to explore the power of rituals with expert Mike Norton. We'll learn how these everyday practices can bring us clarity, strength, and connection. Even the most ordinary moments can be magical if we embrace them. So get ready to discover the transformative power of your daily rituals.
