Rituals: IMHO
Repetitive activities or actions. We have a thousand rituals every week, every day, from the morning routine to the worship of our deities. From the number of times we clink our spoon against the coffee cup, to the coffee itself.
Our daily routines become rituals that mold who we are and who we become, as well as influence the future choices we make. Waking up and stretching, watching cartoons, hurrying out the door with two small children and arguing them into their shoes and coats to catch the bus. All these things can become rituals and often do, yet we don't often think of them that way: The morning paper, the route we take to work, walking the dog, even doing the shopping.
