Your Definition
The act of deliberately placing obstacles or limitations in one’s own path to ensure desired actions or behaviors in the future, typically motivated by a desire for self-improvement or discipline. The term draws inspiration from the practice of werewolves locking themselves in cages to prevent harm to others during their transformations.
