Prescription

On a blank sheet of paper, draw a simple crown at the top. Below it, write three skills you wish to master and three areas where you seek guidance. Light a candle, hold the paper to the flame (safely over a sink) until it catches, then drop it into a bowl of water, saying, 'I release the pressure to know all, and welcome the wisdom to guide.'
