Morning rituals

Coffee, esp strong black coffee, is an excellent laxative.

True. I've also found an excellent laxative is waking up. I should include this as part of my ritual - I [expletive] at least twice before 9am.

If I don't shower in the morning, I'm never fully awake until after 12. I also feel really gross, which bugs the crap out of me.

I've never been a coffee drinker.

I first thought, taking a dump every morning is more of a routine/not a ritual.

but it clearly passes the 8 point test of being a ritual

Routines -------------------------------- Rituals
Minimal engagement.---------------------- Full engagement.
Tedious and meaningless.------------------Symbolic and meaningful
Externally motivated.------------------------Internally motivated.
Life as a duty.--------------------------------Life as a celebration.
Dull awareness.------------------------------Bright awareness.
Disconnected series of events---------------Tells a story.
Little sense of belonging ---------------------Sense of belonging.
Focus only on completion of tasks-----------Focus on performance of tasks.

My mornings are pretty simple. Get up, shower, get some OJ and toast. Figure out what's next for the day.

I'm not letting you off that easy, pal. What do you put on your toast?

[Sutter'sBeard]

not too much for me really. although if i dont have a good morning BM i'm usually bothered.

If I don't have my morning BM by 8am, I'm walking funny and in a lot of pain.
