Clarity Break Starter Questions

Sometimes it is highly effective to have no plan, no questions while sometimes you need some starter questions to get your mind rolling (example questions below)

  • What would I do if I wasn’t afraid?
  • Today, I am dreaming about….
  • What’s draining my energy right now?
  • Who do you admire and why? What are they doing that you can do also?
  • How do you practice caring for yourself? 
  • What are you most proud of?
  • What can you de-clutter physically or emotionally today/this weekend?
  • What are your self-affirmations? Make a list of statements to remind yourself who you are, what your talents/skills are, and what you believe about yourself.
