Much of what we do comes from habit, whether we realize it or not. You weren’t born knowing to wake up and immediately check your phone – the habit developed over time, and now you probably do it without thinking. In today’s episode, Jeremy and Doug discuss rituals, from building healthy habits to breaking unhealthy ones.
Starting from their work lives, Doug and Jeremy are both working to implement rituals and time-blocking at work, but this sometimes rubs up against the reality of work in a dynamic industry. In their personal lives, Doug and Jeremy use rituals to maintain their health and spend time with their loved ones while breaking rituals that no longer serve them.
For detailed show notes, navigate using the time stamps below:
[3:12] Today’s episode is about the power of rituals. For Doug, time blocking has been useful, though his dynamic work environment sometimes prevents him from sticking to his plans.
[5:35] Jeremy tends to take an in-the-moment approach to his work, which can have negative consequences in both his personal and work life. He is working to implement self-care rituals to counteract this.
[10:35] In his personal life, Doug’s main ritual is working out three to five days a week.. He gets up between 4:30 and 5 to get his workout in before work.
[16:10] Jeremy and Doug live very fast-paced lives. The constant flow of responsibilities can make maintaining rituals difficult. Jeremy points out the importance of living with intentionality.
[19:58] Drinking was a ritual that Jeremy picked up from his upbringing. It took him time to realize that his environment led to this ritual, and that the ritual was not serving him.
[25:58] By changing his rituals, Doug has made memories with his children that they still treasure. Rituals can be a key piece of living with intention and being present with your family.
[28:30] We want to hear from you – how have you broken negative habits and created new rituals?
