3-step Mini Ritual

1

Find a teacup or similar small vessel and warm it with hot water; breathe into its warmth for three slow breaths.

2

Pour a modest amount of tea; name aloud one feeling you are tending and one you will release into the cup.

3

Set the cup on a saucer, notice its weight, then place a simple symbol (a leaf, a coin) beneath as an anchor.

Affirmation

“I honor small rituals that steady my heart and clear what I no longer need.”

Next 24 hours

Have a mindful cup of tea and note one sensation and one thought that surfaces; write a single line about what needs tending.
