Silly little rituals? Never ~
Brooks et al. (2016), “Don’t Stop Believing: Rituals Improve Performance by Decreasing Anxiety.”
Published in Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes.
Researchers found that performing a structured ritual before a stressful task reduced anxiety and improved performance. The proposed mechanism was that ritualised behaviour gives the brain a sense of order, predictability and control, which can dampen the psychological response to uncertainty.
There’s also research suggesting that rituals can influence physiological arousal, attention and emotional regulation.
Case closed.

BODY OILING AS ANCIENT TRADITION ~
• Ayurvedic Abhyanga (India): Originating over 5,000 years ago, Ayurvedic tradition uses warm plant oils like sesame or coconut to balance the body’s doshas, calm the nervous system, and promote deep self-love—the Sanskrit word Sneha means both “oil” and “love”.
• Greco-Roman Bathing (Greece and Rome): Bathgoers rubbed perfumed olive oil over their skin instead of soap, then used a curved metal tool called a strigil to scrape away the oil, dirt, and sweat. Athletes also used oil to prepare for combat and physical training.
• Royal Rituals (Ancient Egypt): Royalty and nobility utilized rich plant extracts and heavy oils like castor and moringa to protect their skin against the harsh desert climate and offer to the gods

The rituals we return to become the rhythms that hold us.
A few drops of oil,
A slow breath.
A moment to soften.
A return to the body.
Because caring for ourselves doesn’t always have to be another thing to do.
Sometimes, it’s simply about turning what we already do into something intentional.
Rise + rest in ritual
