...followed by 15-minutes of guided journaling

Write about a moment when you felt inhibited or unable to express yourself fully. What barriers were present, and how did you overcome them (or how could you overcome them)?

Explore the concept of "finding your voice" beyond literal speech. How do you express yourself through nonverbal communication, such as body language, clothing, art, hobbies, or music?

Reflect on a challenging situation you faced recently. How did you respond to yourself during that time? How can you offer yourself more care, grace, and forgiveness?

Who is Morning Ritual for?

Maybe you’ve always wanted a more consistent practice or maybe you want to meditate with a group of people. Or maybe you want to start journaling. A consistent schedule, easy access (virtual and low-cost) Morning Ritual helps hold you accountable to healthy habits without it feeling like a chore.

I’ve been wanting to get back into a regular meditation and journaling practice, and Lydia’s morning ritual sessions came into my life at the perfect time.

Morning Ritual is the best way to start a day. Lydia delivers compelling guided meditations and journal prompts that are relevant to today’s individual concerns and larger societal pressures. I consistently leave these sessions feeling open, more grounded, and with a quiet mind.

Morning Ritual has been such a lovely way to start my day (and week)! The approach is thoughtful, calm, and responsive –– if you want a way to start your day centered and with purpose I highly recommend!

Morning Ritual's meditations have been so powerful and have moved me to tears several times. Everything about it is nourishing. The tone, words, environment – I appreciate the nuance in the meditations and how inclusive they are of what all people could be feeling.

Why journaling and meditation?

Journaling and meditation are two practices shown to reduce stress and anxiety, foster self-awareness, help regulate our emotions, and aid us in processing life experiences. By beginning your day with just 15 minutes of each practice you can begin to cultivate a calmer mind and improved well-being.
