Design Better Habits, Routines, and Rituals with the Intentionality Curve
by Anne-Laure Le Cunff (6 mins)
- Most daily actions are done automatically without conscious thought; to live more intentionally, one must understand and differentiate between habits (automatic), routines (deliberate), and rituals (mindful and purposeful).
- Habits form through a cue-routine-reward loop and can be beneficial for automating healthy behaviors, while routines require conscious effort and can become habits over time with consistent repetition.
- Transforming routines into rituals by adding intentionality and mindfulness can enhance the quality of the experience, integrating mindfulness into everyday life without requiring additional time, which is part of what the author calls the "Intentionality Curve."
