Take a plain glove (or draw one on paper). With a silver pen (or regular pen), write a challenge you face on the palm. Clench the glove in your fist for a minute, focusing on your resolve. Then, open your hand and place the glove on a windowsill at dawn, saying 'By this hand, I meet what comes.' Leave it for one full day.
