I would like some suggestions and ideas how can i incorporate magic in my daily routine?
Do i start meditating daily? Visualizing about my day? Is there any rituals that people do to "welcome and end the day"? Apology if he question is silly, i am just curious I have tried to browse through the articles but couldn't find any...
Take a look at the purpose of the mundane tasks of your daily life and realize that you can use it as sympathetic magic to perform the same mundane actions spiritually. For example, cleaning could also be cleansing energy and decluttering can help clear energy pathways in your life.
A lot of living a spiritual/magical/etc. lifestyle is learning how to incorporate what you learn into your life, rather than reading books on spiritual and magical lifestyle.
I praise the sun four times a day, and have a daily routine of banishing, general invocation, and meditation.
But as Myr said, magic is the art of life itself. There is no every day act which cannot be turned into a magical act. My own personal example of this is making tea.
I will visualise appropriate energies and symbols being stirred into the tea- clockwise if I wish to invoke energy, peace, and stability (which I o in the morning.) Counterclockwise if I wish to banish stress and negativity (which I do after a bad day).
The example of cleaning above is an excellent one. Just learn to think magically about all of existence rather than just the metaphysical one.
Thank you for both answers, that actually make sense, incorporate every little detail of your daily routine like making tea or cleaning with magic will start doing that i actually do now when i cook didn't realize i was doing it...off to go to do the dishes :)
You'll find that a lot of spirituality for some folk can simply be about becoming aware of things that were already set in motion. For those of us who are like that, spirituality and magical practice isn't about escaping mundane reality; for me, personally, it is about learning to enjoy mundane as well as spiritual reality.

Depends on what you mean by 'magick'. If you wish to live a more magickal life, like you have an image of a wise witch in an old cottage with drying herbs and stuff but you don't know how to achieve it, try reading The Goddess is in the Details by Deborah Blake, she has some great suggestions to help you live your craft.
Meditation is a good idea, but baby steps otherwise you'll quit. Take ten slow, deep breaths, the next day do twenty, the next day 30, and so on until you feel like sitting and meditating. Again, start slow, one minute becomes two and two eventually becomes twenty. [I usually sit and take ten slow deep breaths throughout the day to calm and relax myself.] Prayer is another idea. I do it in the morning and before bed, but some people say a prayer/blessing before every meal. Daily offerings is another idea. Could be incense, could also be leaving some leftovers outside in the same spot. [dedicated for your deities] practicing holidays is also a good idea. As a Wiccan, I've got 8 sabbats as well as 12 [sometimes 13] Esbats. [Full moon circle] But I know some people who celebrate the new moon and quarters. Find what works for you.
If you mean casting spells every day, personally they should only be cast when needed, you could buy a spell a day book and cast one a day.
