Your question What is the smallest honest step?

The spread

The figure who set it up Demeter Nourishment, the harvest and grief that changes the world. What to avoid: Care that becomes control.
The figure in the room Persephone A descent and a return, and the strange authority gained between them. What to avoid: Staying in a lower place out of habit.
The figure who leaves Athena Strategy, craft and the intelligence that arrives fully formed. What to avoid: Cleverness used to avoid feeling anything.

Before the figures, a note: myths are not moral instructions. They are patterns, and patterns can be stepped out of.

The centre figure is Persephone, and it names the part of the situation that is about craft rather than feeling.

Then the story turns and the first figure reappears in the third position, meaning the situation resolves the way it began.

Say no to one thing this week and mean it.

The decision belongs to next week; the preparation belongs to this one.

The hard part is not a personality flaw.
