Family patterns of service — roles passed down where tending and sacrifice became identity — are asking for conscious rebalancing.

Set a small, practical intention for tending (e.g., one meal, one kind task).
Light a bit of sandalwood or rosemary; breathe and name what you will protect.
Tie a ribbon on a drawer or apron pocket as a visible boundary reminder.
Offer gratitude aloud for the work you do, then place one hand over your heart.
Affirmation
“I tend with care and I protect my own limits; my service is sacred and balanced.”
