I believe everyone has different things they consider sacred for their daily activities, and yes, I have mine too, even though I have different things I consider sacred, but there are some I consider more sacred than the others because I do them on a daily basis.
For me, I always reach out to my phone first every morning, not immediately but as soon as I know that I can lift my hand and my body part is functioning properly. I don't usually reach out to it to check notifications or reply to messages, but I read some passages of the holy book on the app on my phone if I am not ready with the hard copy, though I prefer the hard copy in a way that all details matter and because the sequence from distraction is everything.

There is always this tiny window that is always opened between my eyes, and when my brain starts coming up with everything I should get to immediately for the rest of the day. Maybe like give minutes. And this is the only part I will say belongs to me completely before the world starts demanding what it also wants from me, and that can be very consuming. And one thing about me is that I don't always waste that precious moment.
If not on my phone, I opened one passage to read a few verses. Sometimes I have the understanding of what I am reading. And sometimes what I am reading just sits on the surface level without deep understanding of it. Then I say a short prayer, nothing long. Just telling my creator some personal things.

After that, I reach out to my people through a short message; sometimes I call to hear their voices, and sometimes we do video calls, but that is not something I always do. I am not the call type because I prefer to text.
Even though I usually delay the way I eat, one thing that I would never delay is drinking water. I don't usually skip this, and I always make sure I drink enough water, like two to four bottles, before the day ends. It is something that has been recommended by the health practitioner for everyone.

Though these things might seem too small, and maybe that is why I never used to think it mattered much until I saw this first topic. Some might say they are ordinary things with no real weight. But I have noticed that the days I go without doing those things, it is not that anything collapses outwardly. But by afternoon, something just feels uncalibrated. Like I was diving from a plane, and I forgot to carry my parachute along. And that is why the sacred has been been complicated. One just needs to start going first.
Thank you for reading.
