During this whole period I do not waste time letting my mind wander. Instead, since I am facing the mirror, I look to see if I need to shave for that night, trim side burns or treat a dreaded pimple forming.
The process of showering in the morning is similar to brushing my teeth in that I do not let my mind wander. From the moment I start lathering my hair with shampoo to the second I shut off the water, I think of a very important part of appearance; clothing. I picture the available clean clothes in my closet and which pants would go with which shirts. Sometimes it comes to be that none of my shirts would go well with any of the pants and so I go on to imagine which sweaters I have to cover up with. This shower is done and I am off to gather my clothes and start the day.
The ritual I have every morning holds equal importance for the physical changes and psychological changes one must go through.
There are also psychological changes that occur during my morning ritual that I must also go through. Many people I associate with only go through the physical changes. They brush their teeth, shower, and get dressed. Regarding my ritual however, they are neglecting half of the necessary changes for waking up. The psychological changes I must go through provide me with a light feeling of the morning being just like the first day of class. The thought process made from the moment I wake up through the time of showering provides a list of objectives for the day. The list created is like the crisp syllabus each student gets at his or her first lecture. Just as this syllabus makes people feel mentally like a fresh new beginning is upon them, so does the mental syllabus that is made for me. Being fresh and clean physically is just as important as being fresh and clean mentally.
Another facet of my ritual, as with any ritual, is repetition and order. To me the ritual could not carry the same effect unless done everyday and in the same order.
