Think about this:
- Make a list of everything you’ve achieved over the last year that makes you proud.
- How have you recently changed and how has this affected your life?
- Did the achievements on the list have a positive impact on your relationships?
- REMINDER: If you are open about who you are with the people in your life, you give them the choice to accept you for who you are.
- Given the way you have changed as a person, which choices do you have to make right now? (e.g. which ones are the most important?)
- If you are going to dive deep into your shadow, then remember to take the light of self love with you so that you can be conscious of any judgements you are holding and the narratives you are telling yourself. Are those narratives even true??
- Would you tolerate someone else treating a friend the way you treat yourself?
- If you had to look back on your life a year from now, what do you most want to accomplish next and what do you most want for your relationships?
