about the prep ritual I loved the thoughts that Steve posts somewhere on his blog, where he talks about dedicating the time to preparing all of the veggies and other healthy foods that he eats.
I've also found that if I can make a ritual out of the chopping and cutting part...and making it easy to get to, the rest is very pleasant as well. Ever mindlessly eaten a bag of cut veggies while sitting in traffic? No dip necessary...and your body will thank you.
I personally enjoy ritual and will stick to the ones that are fun, like adding music or candles. If you're the social type (not me), sharing the slicing and dicing and the veggies with a good friend while catching up might be nice.
Thanks for this question and feedback, I'm inspired enough to head to the store for more veggies.
