Day 1 — The Courtroom
Describe the internal courtroom you live in.
What are your most common “charges” against yourself?
How do they impact you day in and day out?
Optional depth layer: Where do you feel this question in your body?
Day Day 2 — When the Game Felt Fixed
Where in your life has it felt like the rules were stacked against you?
How did you manage your life and play the game?
Did it help you or hurt you?
What rules are you no longer willing to play by?
Day 3 — The Archive of Moments
Write about the small moments you forgot but still carry.
Write about a larger moment you carry, and put more weight on than you should?
Which emotional tones show up most often: shame, joy, fear, pride, grief, humor?
If your unconscious kept score, what would it be tracking?
Optional depth layer: Which moments feel heavier than they deserve to be?
Day 4 — Ego vs. Self
How do you know when ego is driving?
How do you know when the Self is present?
What choices feel lighter, quieter, or more spacious?
Optional depth layer: When has focusing on “the Self” changed an outcome for you?
Day 5 — Release and Freedom
Imagine walking out of your internal courtroom today—paroled, not perfect.
Who are you and how do you feel without being governed by your prior convictions?
What version of you feels closer to the truth right now?
Optional depth layer: How is your version of “The Self” looking to exist moving forward?
