Tradition is something that
builds connection and internal affluence. What are some of the traditions (stories,
actions, rituals, thinking) that you practice today from your parents or
grandparents? Do you have new traditions
that you have created in your adult life or the current relationship you are
in? I encourage you to start a
tradition. It does not have to be big,
elaborate, or troublesome. Allow it to
be significant enough to produce positive feelings inside of you when you think
about doing it and when you remember doing it.
The
easiest tradition to start is something that only you have to participate
in. For instance, if you were start a
tradition for celebrating your birthday that is something you can do every year
from this day forward, what would it be?
The only difference between a ritual and a tradition is that a tradition
is something that you keep remembering and repeating as way of building
positive blue prints in your daily and annual life. A
ritual may be completed often and regularly or it may be something that you
only do once, such as baptism. Tradition
lives on forever and sometimes even after you are long gone.
This
word deserves your reflective time, planning and preparation as you examine
what it is inside of that you want to add to your life on a regular basis that
will become a meaningful tradition.
Matter of fact it may take a few times of experimenting with what
tradition really nourishes, feeds, and helps you feel positive. What tradition do you want to start?
