Struggling to stick to your daily rituals? You’re not alone. In this episode, Marissa Hyatt and Ken Freire break down the four key rituals that set the tone for your day—and how to refresh them without overcomplicating things.

Key Takeaways

Shift From “Ideal” to “Realistic.” Setting a 2-hour morning routine? It’s probably not happening. Instead of planning for ideal, keep it simple. How much time do you really have?
Make Space By Cutting. Overloaded routines don’t stick. Trim the excess so you can focus on what truly matters.
Build Rituals You Love Keeping. If you hate waking up, add something you love—like a great playlist or a favorite drink—to look forward to.
Keep Rituals Fluid. They’ll change with seasons of life, and that’s okay! Adjust them to fit your current reality. (We’ve got ideas to get you started.)
