🌞Hey’all - Good morning!

Here we are at Day 4 of your Morning Reunion Ritual, your gentle weekly invitation to reconnect with that bright, curious spark still alive inside you. If you’ve skipped a step or two, today’s the perfect time to pause and circle back. Hold your Childhood Snapshot for a moment, see that wonder in your younger eyes. Reread your Kind-Word Letter and feel those words settle into your heart like a promise kept. Bring back those playful gestures from Friday and Saturday - a doodle here, a silly giggle there, each one a tiny bridge back to your inner child.

Today, let’s keep that warm glow alive with fresh curiosity prompts and a new affirmation to carry forward. Let this Sunday be a gentle reminder: the magic of your childhood wonder is still yours, all you have to do is invite it in, one playful moment at a time.

Ritual of the Week

Morning Reunion Ritual - Sunday Reminder

Take a soft moment this morning to nurture that spark inside you.

👶Begin with your Childhood Snapshot, hold it or gaze at it and really feel that early joy shining back at you. Let it remind you that your wonder never really left.

🧠Close your eyes for a moment of Memory Travel, breathe deeply and step back into one favorite youthful scene. Maybe you’re running through sprinklers, building forts, or discovering secret hiding spots.

💌Next, pick up your Kind-Word Letter. Read your gentle note, “Dear Me…” and let its warmth settle into your heart like a quiet promise kept.

🎨Add a Playful Gesture, hum your favorite childhood tune, skip down the hallway, or doodle a quick, silly sketch.

🕊️Finally, anchor it all with today’s New Affirmation: whisper softly, “I cherish your wonder and let it guide my day.”

5 Inner-Child Joy Prompts

Give your Sunday morning a splash of lightness with these five bite-sized sparks to keep your playful spirit glowing bright.

🎟️Sticker treasure (1 min): Hide a fun sticker inside your wallet, notebook, or even your pocket. Every time you spot it today, feel that secret grin bubble up.

📄Sandbox sketch (2 min): Grab a napkin or scrap of paper. Scribble swirling lines like you’re drawing shapes in sand - no rules, no pressure, just flow.

🎠Swing-in-place (1 min): Stand next to a sturdy chair and gently rock back and forth like you’re on an imaginary swing. Let gravity and a giggle loosen your shoulders.

🔊Playful sound (45 sec): Close your eyes and make one silly sound - a whoop, a ta-da, or a drumroll on your desk. Notice the delight of surprise.

🟠Color pop (1 min): Pick a bright crayon or marker and draw one bold circle of color anywhere. Watch how that pop of brightness lifts your mood instantly.
