Ritual Practice

Take a small object you own that feels like a 'prize' (a cherished trinket, a gifted item). Place it on a clean cloth. Light a candle beside it. For three minutes, hold it and mentally list three recent efforts you've made, however small, that went unrecognized. Blow out the candle, symbolically claiming those efforts as your own intrinsic reward.
