3-step Mini Ritual
Find a small wooden box or container; place one object that represents what you value inside.
Seal the box with intention and speak aloud what you are choosing to protect or release.
Leave the box somewhere safe for 7 days, then open and journal what feelings arise.
If heavy emotions appear, physically clear one drawer or shelf to symbolize release.
Affirmation
“I honor what I carry and choose what continues to serve me.”
