3-step Mini Ritual
Find or imagine a small jar; wash it and hold it to set an intention for what you want to preserve.
Write one thing to keep and one thing to release on separate slips; fold and place the 'keep' in the jar.
Seal the jar mentally or physically, breathe three times, and say a short intention aloud.
Open the jar later in a week to taste what has shifted; adjust what you keep and release.
Affirmation
“I preserve what serves me and let go of what sours my life.”
