Who are you, really? Learning about your own emotions, triggers, reactions, and mindset is the first step to becoming the best and most self-aware version of yourself.
What is a person, place, or thing that makes you consistently happy? Why does this thing make you happy (how does this feeling connect to your past?)
Write about a negative cognition that keeps appearing your mind that you know isn't true. How do you know that it isn't? Brainstorm affirmations to combat this negative thought.
What does happiness mean to you? Do you believe that it is achievable? How does your perception of happiness relate to your past, trauma, childhood, etc?
Write about one of your trauma responses or coping mechanisms, and create a benefits/costs list for the impact it has on your life.
Where or who is your safe space? How does this place or person make you feel, and why do you think they make you feel this way? How can you find a similar feeling of comfort in other aspects of your life?
Make a list of things, people, or experiences that you have moved on from, and a list of those which you haven't. Compare, reflect, and explore the two lists.
What do you value in relationships? Create a list of values and standards that you need out of friendships. How does this list reflect the experiences that have shaped your life?
Consider your own flaws or toxic traits. Once you are able to move past the discomfort of recognizing your own mistakes, explore why these traits are a part of you, and three long-term goals on how to confront them.
Make a list of experiences or events that positively redirected your life, and a list of experiences or events that negatively impacted your life. Do you notice connections between the two? Recognizing similarities in events that profoundly changed you can help you to understand your own values, sensitivities, and fixations.
Think of one person who would see you as a villain, and one person who would see you as a friend. Write letters to yourself from each perspective. Use the two letters to reflect on who you are as a person, and your own beautiful human imperfections.
