Hold the imagined or real shirt and name what it represents to you.

2

Set a simple intention (e.g., ‘I wear my truth’), then breathe into the chest area for three slow breaths.

3

If possible, mend, wash, or bless an actual garment to anchor the change.

4

Wear a familiar, comforting shirt today as a reminder of the intention.

Affirmation

“I choose what fits me; I release what no longer serves.”

Next 24 hours
