We’re kicking off the new year with one of my favorite creative rituals:
designing your very own Side Quest Deck.
Think of it as a playful, intuitive set of cards filled with the mini-adventures, desires, curiosities, and exploratory edges you want to lean into in 2026.
A deck that whispers: Do the thing you’ve been wanting to try.
Follow this spark.
Say yes to your aliveness.
What Is a Side Quest Deck?
A Side Quest Deck is a collection of hand-made cards that each hold:
✨ a tiny challenge
✨ a creative experiment
✨ a desire you want to explore
✨ a skill you want to grow
✨ a moment of courage
✨ or a simple joy worth experiencing
It’s like building a yearbook of micro-adventures that your future self will thank you for.
You pull a card when you need inspiration.
When you’re stuck.
When you need a nudge.
When your integration feels flat and you’re craving movement.
Each card becomes a gentle invitation toward becoming more you.
🍄 How This Supports Your Integration Journey
Integration isn’t just about looking back — it’s about how you choose to move forward.
Your Side Quest Deck becomes a companion for that process by helping you:
🌱 Turn insights into action
🎨 Stay connected to creativity and curiosity
🔥 Follow desire instead of obligation
🧩 Build new patterns through tiny, meaningful experiments
💛 Treat your growth like an adventure rather than a chore
This is integration through play, imagination, embodiment — and yes, a little magic.
