Self-knowledge
- What do I know about myself now that I didn't know 6 months ago? How did I learn it?
- What am I pretending is fine that actually isn't? What would change if I admitted it out loud?
- When do I feel most like myself? What's happening in those moments? Who am I with? What am I doing?
- What's a belief I held a year ago that I no longer believe? What changed my mind?
- If someone watched my life for a week without me knowing, what would they say my priorities are? Do those match what I say my priorities are?
Values and Alignment
- Which of my values did I honour today? Which did I ignore? What made the difference?
- When was the last time I said yes to something that violated my values? Why did I say yes? What would it take to say no next time?
- What would my life look like if I structured it entirely around my top 3 values? What would I stop doing? What would I start?
- Where am I compromising on something that matters to me? Is that compromise necessary, or am I just avoiding conflict?
Experiments and Progress
- What's my current experiment teaching me? Not just about whether it's "working" but about what I actually want?
- What surprised me about this week? Where did reality differ from my expectations?
- If I could go back to the start of this experiment and give myself one piece of advice, what would it be?
- What am I avoiding in my experiment? Is there a next step I keep postponing? What's underneath that avoidance?
- What progress have I made that I'm not giving myself credit for? (List 3 things.)
