I created Ritual Joy as a simple, grab-and-go tool for when I need grounding or a spark of joy without the prep or clean-up. Each card is a five-minute or less micro-ritual—little altars, journal prompts, and sensory practices—that give me instant, healthy satisfaction when my brain is craving something quick.

It’s inspired by my love of Animal Crossing and the joy of puttering about—those tiny, satisfying tasks that make life feel cozy and meaningful.

This deck started as something just for me, but I’m realizing it might be worth sharing. Maybe I’ll start posting more of these rituals and how I use them in daily life.

✨ Here’s to small rituals, puttering joy, and everyday grounding.
