⚡ 5-Minute Action: Reset Ritual Design ​
Create your personal “start again” ritual. Write down:

This becomes your anchor for any moment you need to reset.

Why this whisper? It's not about erasing the past or pretending we're starting from zero – it's about honouring where we've been while choosing where we go next. Each moment holds the potential for a new direction, no matter what came before.

Remember: Starting again isn't admitting defeat – it's proving you're unstoppable.
