An Inquiry into the Patterns We Rarely Notice

01 / 02
IN YOUR OWN WORDS

THE FOUR QUESTIONS

Four questions. Your own words.

Not to fix anything. Just to see what your mind keeps adding, so it runs us a little less.

Answer what you can and leave the rest blank. There is no right answer, and even one is enough to read from. The examples under each line are only there to react to.

An inquiry, not therapy. If something heavy surfaces, a person you trust is the right companion for it, not a page.

01
Which feeling has been dominating your thinking recently?

Whatever keeps coming back, in whatever words you have for it.

For example
Dread, waiting for something bad that hasn't happened yet.
Shame, the quiet feeling that I'm a fraud about to be found out.
Hurt, still sitting with the one comment that went badly.
02
Which line do you catch yourself saying?

To yourself, or out loud, more often than you'd like.

For example
"I should be further along than this by now."
"If it isn't perfect, then the whole thing is ruined."
"They haven't replied, so they're probably annoyed with me."
03
Which quality have you accepted as just who you are?

The word you'd use for yourself without thinking twice.

For example
Being the lazy one, the anxious one, the difficult one.
Brushing off anything good as luck, timing, or someone being kind.
Planning for the worst so that nothing can catch me off guard.
04
What do you keep finding evidence for?

The thing life keeps seeming to confirm about you.

For example
The one face in the room that looked bored while I was talking.
The compliment I decided didn't really count.
The quiet at dinner that I assumed was something I did.
Answer what you can. Even one is enough.
