Effectively we are nearly chain-locked together and my suggestion is to talk (walk) to get out of that position (almost like synchronising our legs together and literally limping together, which improve things even if it looks jerky)

Communication is the first practice itself, to improve communication and walking becomes so much easier!

I like the ball and chain picture also as we are chained or attempted to be chained to Capitalism through our own submission so like training partners the other us there are moral / skillful support... which we all need to catch each other - not just do it for our family but many more outside of family.

To get to some other place and somewhere else - even if it's embarrassing. This can be 2 or 3 or more people!

Practising communication itself as when seen as fun, finding life, then eventually a mini-project comes around which might take time and a test- but at least you're not kidding yourself for 20years, Actually some therapy type work and circles I'l se as important...,,,
