Creating Mini Rituals: How to Add More Pleasure and Peace into Your Day
Hey, girls! I am beyond excited to try something new today—an audio blog instead of my usual writing! Let's dive into something I've been passionate about lately: creating mini rituals. These small but meaningful practices allow us to reconnect with peace and pleasure in ways that feel light, freeing, and personal.
What is a Mini Ritual?
A mini ritual is simply a small act that brings you a sense of calm, pleasure, and presence. Think of it as a way to reset and honor your needs without the weight of a strict routine or rigid schedule.
When I first started thinking about creating rituals, I felt overwhelmed. I love change, being a 3/5 Manifesting Generator and Virgo, but committing to a daily, rigid routine? It felt more like a chore. That’s when I realized that rituals don't have to be big, elaborate, or time-consuming. They can be small moments woven into your day—mini rituals that help you feel cherished and at peace.
My Mini Rituals and How I Keep It Fun
One of my favorite places to start with mini rituals is at home. My love for home spaces started when I was a child. While my friends were playing with dolls, I was decorating my Barbie dream house. It’s no surprise that today, I still find pleasure in creating beautiful, inviting spaces.
Candle Lighting: A Simple but Powerful Ritual
One of my go-to rituals is lighting a candle. It’s not about the specific candle or even the time I light it. It's about how it makes me feel. I might light a candle while I'm getting dressed, journaling, or simply relaxing on the couch. The scent creates a comforting, girly atmosphere that brings me joy.

How can you create a mini ritual today that aligns with how you want to feel?
Another mini ritual I adore is using rose water at night. Whether or not I wear makeup, spritzing rose water on my face is a soft, soothing way to end my day. Again, it’s not about the time I do it—there's no set schedule. It’s just about doing something that makes me feel cherished before bed.
Personalizing Your Mini Rituals
Here's what I want you to take away from this: your rituals are YOURS. If you're drawn to a particular action or feeling, go for it! Your rituals don't need to follow anyone else's guidelines. Maybe for you, it’s sipping coffee on your balcony or stretching on a soft, fluffy rug in your boudoir (yes, I renamed my bedroom that because it makes me feel luxurious!).
Naming your space or your rituals can elevate the experience and connect you with that next-level version of yourself. Your feminine foundation is built on how you want to feel. This isn’t about following someone else’s routine—it’s about honoring your own flow.

"I honor my needs and create rituals that bring me peace and pleasure in ways that feel aligned and freeing."
Why Mini Rituals Matter
Mini rituals are simple but powerful. They allow us to reconnect with ourselves in the most beautiful way. Whether it’s through lighting a candle, sipping tea, or soaking in the tub, mini rituals are about the feelings they create.
For me, it’s feeling cherished, girly, and light. For you, it might be something different. Maybe you crave feelings of strength, calm, or freedom. Whatever it is, mini rituals help you cultivate those feelings.
If you're ever unsure of where to start, I suggest looking at how you're feeling now. What don’t you want to feel anymore? Then, consider what the opposite of those feelings might be. From there, you can create rituals that align with the emotions you want to bring into your life.
Final Thoughts: Build Your Own Mini Rituals
Ladies, mini rituals are about you. They're your opportunity to create moments that bring peace, pleasure, and joy, without the pressure of following someone else's structure. Whether it's the scent of a candle, the feel of a soft rug, or the sight of ducks while sipping coffee, your mini rituals should reflect how you want to feel.
