Cozy Higher Self Rituals: Pause & Begin Again

10/4/2025

12 Comments

 

Recently, a phone call woke me up and when I decided to stay awake and get up, my whole morning rhythm felt off. It's so easy to start the day in a weird mood, or more foggy than usual, and have trouble getting back to myself.

But this time, when I finally sat down to do my normal morning ritual, everything fell into place.
​Pause, and begin again. I often have to do that at other times in my day, too.

Do you? It's worth taking a moment to do it.

You realize your heart is the lantern. It was never outside of you. That must have been an illusion, a forgetting spell. - How to Become Your Higher Self

Try a Midday Pause


The middle of the day is when we forget ourselves the most. That's why a five-minute ritual can be so powerful. It brings us back to the truth of who we are, quick and easy, so we can go back to our day, authentic and empowered.

Pause for a moment now and check in. Which self has been leading the way today, so far - your survival self or your higher self?

You also can check in at the end of the day with a question from The Higher Self Journal.

What moments today showed me that I was living from my survival self? Did I have moments of living as my higher self, too?

☕ Try this with your tea tonight. Light a candle, make your tea, and open your journal, or take a moment to reflect.

Cozy Higher Self Rituals


This is the heart of my Higher Self bundle. Making space for cozy, practical rituals that help you live as your true self every day. 

​And if you’d like to see how these practices landed for someone else, my cherished friend, Brenda Fluharty, from Writing through the Soul, shared a beautiful reflection on the bundle on her website yesterday here. 

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

That sounds good to me. I often nap in the middle of the day.

I have been feeling a little off, myself. I'm glad you pause to get re-aligned. I've been doing lots of clearing!

Great advice Jeanine! I don't have trouble getting my day started my mid-day is when the "fog" sets in at times and I find myself just lost in wonder. It's those time when I need my chai tea break.

Thanks, Martha! Ah, yes. Chai tea! That's a great way both to pause and relax and come out of the fog.

What a great reminder that we can do a 'reset' any time we realize it's needed!
I don't always do it, but when I went outside to open my gate this morning, I sang a couple of morning song/ blessings - one in Cherokee, one Japanese!

Thank you, Nadya! Oh, that's wonderful. I find singing to be a great way to reset my energy and bring me back to myself.

I love the idea of stopping and re-setting when your morning - or any time of the day - gets to feeling off. I will be putting this concept into practice.

Oh, thank you, Lori! And I'm so glad to hear that.
