Practical Guidance

3-step Mini Ritual
Sit grounded for three minutes, visualize the axe as a decision rather than violence.
Write one thing to cut (stop) and one thing to foster instead.
Place a stone (hematie-like) on the note and speak aloud a single boundary.
Carry the note for 24 hours, then safely dispose or burn with gratitude.
Affirmation
“I cut what drains me and tend what sustains me with careful hands.”
Next 24 hours
Name one small boundary and communicate it kindly to one person or implement it in your schedule.
