Rituals are often associated with formal ceremonies marking life's transitions, but personal rituals—daily habits—are equally significant. While public rituals hold strong moral implications, personal rituals, referred to as 'emotion rituals', are quieter and often unnoticed, yet they help us maintain a sense of continuity and identity. They reassure us that we're the same people from day to day, despite fresh possibilities, and provide a framework that fosters creativity and personal agency. These daily routines are essential for emotional stability and self-coordination, highlighting the importance of both public and personal rituals in our lives.
These personal rituals coordinate our feelings for the day's events, reassuring us that we remain fundamentally the same person with each passing day.
Daily habits may not follow public rules, but they serve to anchor our lives and give us the confidence to pursue creativity.
