What makes me feel calm?

What distractions get in the way of being my most productive?

How do I recharge?

What emotions am I holding on to?

When do I feel most in tune with myself?

How can I celebrate myself today?

What’s a goal I want to accomplish this year and why?

How can I detach my emotions from the behavior of others?
