Before any reading or consultation, it can help to get clear on what you are actually asking. These prompts are a simple way to begin.
1. What situation is taking up most of my mental energy right now? 2. What would “clarity” about it look like? 3. What do I already know, but haven't admitted to myself?
4. Which parts of this are within my control, and which are not? 5. Whose opinion am I most afraid of? 6. What would I advise a close friend in my position?
7. What is one small step I can take this week, regardless of the outcome?
Write freely and without editing. You may find that the question you bring to a session — or the answer you were looking for — has shifted by the time you finish.
