3-step Mini Ritual
Find a small container and inspect it; note chips or leaks as metaphors.
Fill it with water or soil while naming one thing you want to hold and one to release.
Carry it a short distance as a bodily gesture of responsibility, then set it down deliberately.
Patch any imagined cracks with a ribbon or tape and say a brief vow to tend boundaries.
Offer gratitude for what it holds and let excess spill gently as release.
Affirmation
“I tend my container with care; I choose what I carry and what I let go.”
