Turn habits into rituals and change your life

The Ritsu's vibez Podcast

Ever felt that the mundane could be sacred? Let's shed light on how daily habits can be transformed into meaningful rituals through the example of martial arts. The essence of martial arts lies in the full commitment to a single movement. And goes beyond the physical to explore how integrating this sacredness into everyday tasks can bring an enriched sense of purpose to life. And you will find your time back because you'll stop asking yourself: what happened today? Everyday the same thing!
But the journey is not always easy. Picture this: completing 1000 repetitions of the Senbongeiko exercise, a grueling martial arts training method. I share my personal experience recounting the physical and mental exhaustion, yet focus on the profound understanding that came from reaching my goal. This experience demonstrated the power of the mind in controlling repetition and transforming actions into personal, unique rituals.

Some extra focus (comment for a detailed description of these terms and their respective ideograms):
Kata is a Japanese word (型 or 形) meaning "form". It refers to a detailed pattern of martial arts movements made to be practised alone. It can also be reviewed within groups and in unison when training. It is practised in japanese martial artis as a way to memorize and perfect the movements being executed.
Senbongeiko: it's formed by 2 words: Senbon 千本 one thousand + counter and keiko 稽古 to think about old things (so beautiful! Let me know if you wanna deepen this part, I just love this word!)
Shihonage 四方投げ four directions throw
The song I refer to in the intro is "Niente paura", artist Ligabue. Check the official video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NGwKbr5Oz4
