More Rituals.

Not going to lie, when I was writing my rituals paper for Consumer Behavior, I wrote the first thing that came to mind. I wrote the paper over Thanksgiving break, therefore, I wrote about my family's Thanksgiving traditions and rituals.  After listening to my fellow classmates, and what they chose to write about, I started paying attention to my everyday rituals. The way I shower is the same repeated behavior everyday, along with my breakfast routine, and when my morning is switched up from the usual steps, it throws my day for a loop, and most likely will be a wrench in my machine all day. I have decided that one of the biggest things that I HAVE to do everyday is make my bed, I make it the same way everyday, and make it as soon as I wake up.  I don't know if it is superstition, or behavior that was engraved into my brain at a young age, but I am a firm believer that if you make your bed every morning, it will lead to a successful day, a day not scattered, and a put-together mentality. Rituals run our lives, its just a matter of recognizing them.
