I live with my Master. I also have the huge fortune to have a job that I work from our office in our home and have a flexible schedule. But even when I had to commute to another location, my being His slave is something that I am, not something that I do.

However, part of the "ritual" isn't so much things that I do but things that I do not do. I do not allow myself to be in another part of the house when He comes home from work. I am there to greet Him with His coffee. I do not talk about myself, my day, any issues, needs, problems. I give Him space to decompress, I do not hover when He wants to be alone. I listen to Him tell about His day, His needs, any issues He has. I have supper in readiness. I am freshly showered, hair done, makeup the way He likes. My primary function is to provide a sanctuary of comfort, ease and pleasure for my Master. Even when I had to communte and He got home before me, I had the coffee-maker set to have the coffee ready for Him when He walked through the door. All through the day I go over mental checklists to make sure He will not come home to anything less than a world of comfort, ease and pleasure.

I really struggle with this. At work I have to be Alpha, dominant, in control, calling the shots. At home with my Family at the weekends I am under consideration as a Leather submissive and thus I serve. It is not the drop down that I find hard ... it is the climb back up.

That's the truth. At the end of the day I was always more than happy to hand over the leash. But ramping up to get back into "work mode" in the morning could be tough.
For the past year, with no master, I haven't had the luxury to "shut down" the alpha mode. That's a big increase in stress level, no matter how competent I may be. Makes me appreciate all the more the doms, who have that innate ability to be "on" all the time. I swear, I think they should all be demanding an annual two week "vacation from responsibility".

Slave in my house is required to kneel when I enter the room where she is, and greet me if it's the first time I've entered the room since she's arrived. That about covers it. No additional rituals required.

A few years ago I was in a relationship with someone who lived locally; we did not live together. We had 2 such rituals. The first one was required every time we met privately. I would kneel on all fours and repeat what we called our ‘mantra’. It was 3 sentences and I was always amazed at the power those simple words held.
The other one, if I met him after work during the week, was that I would give him a foot massage while talking about my day, It functioned as a way to make him feel relaxed and I would be recharged and could serve him that evening with energy and enthusiasm!
