3-step Mini Ritual
Touch the lapel at chest height and breathe three slow breaths.
Name aloud one quality you wish to present (e.g., steady, kind, true).
If you have a pin or cloth, place it gently and set the intention with a quiet phrase.
Close by smoothing the fabric and releasing shoulders; carry the feeling into your next interaction.
Affirmation
“I choose how I am seen; my small details reflect my true care.”
