3-step Mini Ritual
Sit quietly and place a hat or cloth on your head for one minute, noticing posture and feeling.
Name aloud one role you’re trying on (e.g., leader, caretaker, artist).
Breathe deeply three times, imagine that role supporting rather than hiding you.
Set a simple intention: I try this on kindly, and I can remove it if it does not fit.
Affirmation
“I wear what serves me; I choose roles that reflect my true self.”
