Act with zest on day at a time, and never mind the rest.*
Horace

This organic emergence of rituals is seemingly a product of the brain’s remarkable ability to monitor whether we are achieving our desired goals … .**
Ethan Kross

To bring all of our energy into a day is
a wonderful thing: to invest our
heart and soul and mind and strength
in something meaningful and life-giving
for ourselves and others is wisdom’s way.

To aid this, we create our rituals so that
we don’t get lost; and knowing that we organically produce these,
To distract ourselves or keep moving,
Means that we can harness this power to create our
smarter rituals enabling us to be zesty people.

Why not take a moment to think through,
Or better, write down, your own rituals,
looking for places to shape them for more zestiness?
