I get inspiration from taking photos of the creek and open space. Art projects, crafts and taking time with my cat.

Twyla tharpe talks about making a "ritual". Like a nightly practice of aromatherapy would be the ritual that sets you mind into a relaxed mood. What you do during that time could be different each time but the ritual of it becomes automatic or habit forming. It's important that light the candle is the ritual. Not reading or yoga which you might do while the candle is lit. It's like a trigger but in a positive way. For chronic depression this is very helpful. I think of it of merging the best of mindlessness and mindfulness.
