Sit quietly and hold a small mask or object; name one role you play aloud.
Write one truth the mask shields on a slip of paper and fold it once.
Breathe slowly, visualizing that truth coming forward while you breathe out the need to perform.
Tuck the paper into a safe place or release it with a small burn (safe setting).
Affirmation
“I can wear roles with choice and return to my true face when I am ready.”
