1.
What are some habits of mine that exhaust me? Maybe these habits also give a momentary sense of relief, but do they also exhaust, delay, or revert me, often into repetitive cycles?

What are my core principles? Think about them and list them out. If you are not sure, then journal about not knowing. Being authentic means not straying from these core principles.
3.
How am I an adversary to my own peace?
4.
What habit am I looking to change? There is a void that appears when one tries to change a habit. What am I replacing this habit with to fill the void I will experience?
5.
Where am I stagnant in my life, and how can I get out of this stagnation?
6.
What is MY concept of a power greater than myself, and how can I rely on that power in my everyday life?
7.
How is my language becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy for what I experience? Are there any rigid or self-limiting dialogues that I need to eliminate with myself?
8.
Does it feel like you are approaching a major life passage or are already in one? If so, write about the stage of life that is ending. Be as specific as you can describing what is actually dying, what transitions you are going through, and how you feel about these shifts.
9.
What do I most deeply seek? In what specific ways am I prepared to surrender to the deepest striving of my soul, to my unique gifts and powers?
10.
Examine the relationship you have with yourself. How could you improve this relationship?
