  6. Theme 5: key terms • Habit: Rituals of daily living that we tend to do the same way each time without thinking • The difference between a routine and a ritual is not necessarily the action, but the attitude behind the action. • To many, a routine is getting up every morning, eating breakfast, brushing your teeth, taking a shower, getting dressed, and going to work. It is not a meaningful part of our day, but it needs to get done so we do it. It’s viewed as a chore. • However, rituals are viewed as more meaningful practices. Often, there is symbolism involved, and a real sense of purpose. A big part of it is your subjective experience of the activity.
