Recognize Your Starting Point
Where you are is where everything begins
Understanding Step 1
You cannot change what you do not recognize. The first step is brutal honesty: knowing exactly where you stand today in every area of life, and identifying the repetitive thoughts that have been quietly sabotaging your progress. Like a GPS, you need your current location before any route can be calculated.
Sit with this question before starting the exercise. Let it surface memories, patterns, and truths.
Pick ONE area of your life. Give it an honest number from 1–10 right now, and write one sentence about what a "10" looks like.
Today's Exercise
This exercise takes 15–20 minutes. Read all three parts before writing. Autosaved as you type.
Draw your Life Wheel: draw 8 spokes (Health, Finances, Career, Relationships, Personal Growth, Fun/Recreation, Physical Environment, Family). Score each 1–10 honestly. Your 10 = what would feel complete this year.
Write 3 limiting beliefs you hold about your lowest-scored area. For each belief, write the specific consequence it has had on your life if you continue holding it for 5 more years.
For each limiting belief, write the OPPOSITE empowering belief and one micro-action that would prove the new belief true today.
