How is it used

The ritual has three steps and takes less than a minute. Its power comes not from complexity, but from repetition.

Step 1 — You wrap it

A few minutes before the start, wrap the tape around your wrist, fingers, or wherever it feels natural. The place doesn't matter, what matters is that it's the same every time.

As you put it on, breathe deeply and think about what you have to do. This is where the preparation begins.

Step 2 — You tear it

When you're ready, tear it. With all your strength, so it makes a sound.

This is the moment that matters. Thoughts stop, you are present, you transition from preparation to execution. A final thought, and you enter.

Step 3 — You enter flowstate

You no longer think about the tape. You get to what you have to do.

The brain learns the association. After a few repetitions, every time you tear it, it already knows what state it enters — without having to decide anything else.

How much tape do you use

A set contains 3 rolls, each 3.8 cm wide and 10 meters long. A total of 30 meters.

One ritual consumes a few tens of centimeters, so one set is enough for tens of matches. The tape is for single use: it is changed after each use.

When to use it

Before each match, at the same moment of preparation. Consistency is all that matters — a randomly performed gesture builds nothing, and one repeated at the same point in the routine becomes an automatism in a few weeks.

It works just as well before a tough workout, an exam, or any moment when you need to be present.

On what type of skin

The tape has a rigid, inelastic backing, with zinc oxide-based adhesive. Apply it to clean, dry skin. If you have sensitive skin or an irritation in that area, choose another spot.

Why it works

Because rituals are psychological triggers. The brain builds associations from repeated gestures — a Pavlovian cue. It reduces anxiety, creates predictability, and signals that intense concentration is coming.

The tape doesn't do the work. You do. It just tells you when to start.
