Thrive Ritual

Purpose / Reason
Daily, do one thing purely for joy, purpose, or expansion. Not survival. Thriving.

How to Apply

1. State the smallest next action (≤10 minutes).
2. Do it now or calendar it today with a cue.
3. Note one observation about what helped or got in the way.
4. Repeat for 5-7 days; keep/cut/change one element next week.

How & Why It Works

• Tiny, repeatable behaviors compound into clarity and confidence through neuroplastic change.

Results & Goals

• Immediate (0-72h): Less overwhelm; one value‑aligned action completed; early relief from rumination.
• Short‑term (1-4 weeks): Drafted identity story, 3-5 micro‑experiments run, clearer boundaries with key people.
• Medium‑term (1-3 months): Coherent sense of self across roles; consistent habits that reflect chosen values.
