Step 1: Center Yourself (2 Minutes)

• Take 10 deep breaths.
• Clear all immediate tasks from your mind.
• Remind yourself: This is not about productivity. This is about alignment.

Step 2: Quick Wins Reflection (5 Minutes)

Ask:

• “What am I proud of from the past 90 days?”
• “Where have I made invisible progress that I haven’t fully celebrated?”

(Write 3-5 bullet points.)

Step 3: Current State Check (5 Minutes)

Ask:

• “What parts of my work energize me the most right now?”
• “What parts feel heavy, draining, or disconnected?”
• “Is anything I’m doing starting to feel like an old chapter I’m clinging to?”

(Write honest, no-filter answers.)

Step 4: Future Feelings Vision (10 Minutes)

Ask:

• “If success could FEEL any way I want in the next 6–12 months, what would it feel like?”
• (Examples: Expansive? Calm? Exciting? Freeing? Joyful? Fierce?)

Then ask:

• “What kinds of projects, clients, or creations would match that feeling best?”
• “What kinds would kill that feeling, even if they’re profitable?”

(Sketch 2 simple lists: Matches / Conflicts.)

Step 5: Small Strategic Shifts (5 Minutes)

Ask:

• “What is one small shift I can make in the next 30 days to move closer to the future feeling I want?”
• “What should I prune, pause, or protect to make that happen?”

(Commit to 1-2 clear action steps.)

Step 6: Closing Affirmation (Optional)

“I have permission to evolve. Growth requires new maps, not just stronger engines.”

(Say it out loud if you want. Reinforces internal permission.)

Usage Notes:

• Do this check-in every 90 days.
• Keep it casual, honest, non-performative.
• The goal is not to criticize your past work — it’s to honor where you are and consciously chart where you want to go.

Remember:

“Alignment beats hustle. Legacy beats momentum. Fulfillment beats achievement.”
