3-step Mini Ritual
Sit quietly and name one way you feel performed for others.
Visualize the string tied to that behavior and breathe as you imagine it loosening.
Say aloud a single boundary and cut an actual ribbon or thread to symbolize release.
Carry a grounding stone for 24 hours and speak your chosen small action into it.
Affirmation
“I am permitted to choose my movements and speak my true needs.”
Next 24 hours
Do one small act that expresses preference (say no, change a plan, speak an honest sentence).
