# Daily Practice & Rituals

> Give your journaling a shape — a recurring prompt each day, or a guided ritual that walks you through one question at a time.

A blank page every day asks a lot of you. Sometimes it helps to arrive somewhere that already knows what it is for.

Life Note gives you two kinds of structure. **Daily Practice** is a prompt waiting for you each day. A **ritual** is a short guided session that asks one question at a time — and changes how your mentor answers.

## Rituals

A ritual walks you through a few questions in sequence rather than handing you an empty box. What makes them different is the ending: each ritual tells your mentor *how* to respond.

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Morning Clearing" icon="sun">
    Say everything you're carrying before the day decides for you. Your mentor sorts it into what matters.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Untangling a Worry" icon="link-slash">
    Lay a knot out piece by piece, until you can see which parts are actually yours to carry.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Sitting With This" icon="heart">
    When something is hard to say, say it as it is. Your mentor stays with you — and gives no advice at all.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

That last one matters more than it looks. **Sitting With This** is the only place in Life Note where a mentor deliberately withholds guidance. Some things don't need solving.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start a ritual">
    Open **Daily Practice** on your home screen and choose a ritual.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Answer one question at a time">
    Take the questions you want and skip the ones you don't. Your progress is saved as you go, on every device.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send it to your mentor">
    Finish, and your mentor replies in the style that ritual calls for.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Rituals are always answered by a mentor, even if you normally journal alone.
</Note>

## Make your own

You can build a ritual from scratch: name it, choose its cover, write your own sequence of questions, and pick how your mentor should respond — **Clear & Sort**, **Ground & Reframe**, **Just Listen**, **Reflect**, or a response style you describe yourself.

This is the most underused feature in Life Note. A ritual you wrote for your own recurring situation — a Sunday review, a post-argument cooldown, a pre-flight ritual — works better than any of ours, because it asks your questions.

## Daily Practice

Daily Practice is lighter: a recurring prompt that appears on your home screen each day. Gratitude, morning intention, evening reflection, dream journalling and shadow work are built in, and you can edit the prompts, add your own, or set which one comes up by default.

<Tip>
  Use the **⋯** on any Daily Practice card to manage its prompts, change the default, or reset it back to ours.

## Practices & Quests

Beyond daily prompts, Life Note carries a library of longer practices — Vipassana with S. N. Goenka, and twenty-odd others — each paired with the mentor who taught it. These run over weeks rather than days. You'll find them alongside your goals.
