Creating with joy and gratitude
Before strategies, systems, or plans, there has to be clarity.
Day 1 is a quiet invitation to pause and reconnect with the version of yourself who already knows where you’re headed, even if the path isn’t fully visible yet.
These prompts are designed for gentle reflection, to help you release the noise, and listen inward for direction.
Take your time. Write what feels true.
This is where the next chapter begins.

Think of yourself in the future — at least one year from now — and answer the following questions:
When I imagine my future self one year from now, the first word that comes to mind is _____________. Why?
What did I stop doing that created more peace, clarity, and energy in my life?
What did I finally say yes to, even though it felt uncomfortable at first?
What does my future self protect fiercely that I currently give away too easily?
Which part of my work feels most aligned with who I’m becoming, not who I used to be?
What belief did I release that changed how I move through the world?
How does my future self define “success” differently than I do today?
What daily ritual anchors my future self when things feel uncertain or overwhelming?
What am I deeply grateful I didn’t rush, force, or abandon too soon?
If my future self could leave me one sentence of guidance right now, what would they say?
There’s no need to answer everything at once. Let these questions stay with you.
