Gentle questions to sit with

You don't have to have answers. Just let yourself write.

"What am I carrying right now that I haven't said out loud?" "When do I feel most like myself?" "What do I need more of right now?" "What would I tell a friend who felt the way I feel?" "What am I avoiding — and what would happen if I stopped?" "Where in my body do I hold stress?" "What's one thing I can let go of this week?" "What story have I been telling myself that might not be true?"
