Read each question. Write your answer on paper or in a note on your phone. Take your time. Skip any you are not ready to answer. Nobody is timing you and nobody is going to read this except you.

1. Attention

What do you spend the most hours a day looking at? What is it training you to want?

2. Voices

Whose voice is in your head first thing in the morning? Whose is in your head last thing at night? Did you choose those voices?

3. Company

Who are the five people you spend the most time with? If you spent the next ten years the same way, who would you become?

4. Hard things

What is one thing you have been avoiding because it is hard? What would happen if you stopped avoiding it, starting this week?

5. Beliefs

What have you been told about yourself so many times that you now believe it? Is it true?

6. Wanting

What do you actually want, when you strip out the versions of wanting that came from other people, from social media, from ads?

7. Proud

What have you done this year that you are genuinely proud of? Why that thing and not another?

8. Not proud

What have you done this year that you are not proud of? What would you do differently if the same moment came again?

9. Truth-tellers

Who in your life would tell you a genuinely hard truth if you needed it? If nobody, why not?

10. Anger

What kind of behaviour in other people makes you seriously angry? That anger is protecting something you care about. What is it?

11. Cost

What is one thing you would refuse to do, even if you were paid a lot to do it? Not something illegal. Something specific to you.

12. Forty

Imagine you are forty years old, looking back on the age you are right now. What would you wish you had done differently starting this year?

13. Sacred

What behaviour in yourself would you never be okay with, no matter what the reason was?

14. Grown-up

Name one adult you actually respect. Not because they are famous. Because of how they live. What specifically do they do that you would like to be able to do?

15. This week

What is one small thing you could do this week that would make you the person you want to become? Not a promise. Not a plan. One action, this week.
