A ritual can start with a simple intention. The intention can be health and well-being, peace of mind, grounding, or whatever you choose. It doesn’t have to be a spiritual practice. It’s giving ourselves permission to pause.

The idea is to return to this ritual as often as needed. This is a gift we can give ourselves that takes little effort to do and gives so much in return.

At Modicum, we encourage creating a ritual around your skincare to encourage self-compassion and self-care becoming a practice that helps bring us back to center.

Sometimes it helps to set the stage in order to establish a ritual that becomes a regular practice or habit. You can begin by lighting a candle, lighting incense, using an essential oil or showing up with nothing but yourself, your breath and your intention. Creating this space provides an opportunity to connect with yourself.
