1. When have you recently felt like you are hiding or that something is holding you back from showing up fully as yourself?

Think of 2-3 moments, interactions, or scenarios you experienced by yourself, in a relationship, at work, or in some other context.

​

2. What would you call this lesser version of yourself?

(E.g., perfectionist, people-pleaser, victim, achiever, clown, coward, controller, etc.)

​

3. How has this version of yourself hurt you? 

Imagine a conversation with this version of yourself. Tell it about the pain it has caused you or others.

​

4. How has this version of yourself helped or protected you?

These lesser versions of ourselves often exist because they once had a role to play. Again, imagine a conversation where you thank this part of yourself but let it know that it is no longer needed.

​

5. When have you recently felt a sense of alignment between who you are and how you show up in the world?

It can be in any context, just like question 1 above. In the coming days, record these experiences of alignment to give you courage for the journey of leaving what you’ve outgrown and coming home to your true self.
