The tangled-cord obstacle
Place knots and delays in the path of an action meant to undermine you.
What you’ll need
- Three short cords
- A small box
- Paper and pencil
The ritual
- Write the unwanted action on the paper and place it beneath the box.
- Tangle the three cords together, making loose knots wherever they naturally cross.
- Put the tangle in the box and close the lid with the words, “Go no farther.”
- Keep it closed while you protect yourself in practical ways; untangle it when the risk has passed.
