Routine. I was always told that this was bad from the beginning, because "routine" can be associated with something taken for granted (99.999... % of the "mundane"). Nevertheless, daily observance of certain rites, a regular schedule based on symbolic actions and an observance of cyclic time as opposed to flat linear time adds a magical purpose to the "mundane". Gradually, the mundane can be recognized as part of the ritual, even if it is boring, plain and a pain in the ass.

Magic is life. Life is a event of rituals. Rituals is practice.

You are using magic everyday unknowingly.
I see magic as an unexpected consequence of normal human consciousness; one that everyone has, but few harness, like many human abilities. It becomes part of your life because it has (unknowingly as you say) always been part of your life.

Concentrate on basic magical practices which will then affect mundane life in more ways than one, and in my experience, my mundane life just got thrown all over the place, from work to friends as my life started to change.
