The Grand Plan – Step One Questions
Week 1
For the next 7 days, take 5 minutes to write down at least one answer to every question, although a small list is better. After a few days you’ll probably notice some trends in your answers, especially answers you’ve put down multiple times over the 7 day period. These trends are what we’re looking for.
I would encourage you to journal about your thoughts afterwards, if you’re moved to do so.
Avoid putting too much thought into this; we want the first answers that come to mind. Try to be as authentic as possible without judgement. For example, avoid answers you think you “should” put down that are not authentic. Answer truthfully and dismiss thoughts about what others may think. You don’t have to show this to anyone. This is only for you.
Have fun with this!
