A binding for letting go
A symbolic boundary for an old habit, a recurring thought, or an unwelcome influence.
What you’ll need
- A strip of paper
- A piece of string
- A journal
The ritual
- Name a habit or pattern you want to release. Keep the focus on your own choices.
- Write it on the paper and fold the paper inward.
- Wrap the string loosely around the paper while saying what you choose to do differently.
- Put the bundle away for a week. Record a practical boundary you can maintain, then recycle the paper when ready.
