Morning Reflections: Embracing the Edge
🌅⚡

A space to honor the tremble as a sign of growth.

  1. “What am I approaching today that stirs nervous energy?”
    — Name the moment that signals expansion, not fear.
  2. “How do I usually respond to discomfort—retreat, resist, or rise?”
    — Notice your default mode and its impact.
  3. “What would it mean to welcome nerves as proof of courage?”
    — Reframe the sensation as a companion, not a threat.

Guiding Thought: Boldness often arrives disguised as unease. Let your nerves be the drumbeat of your becoming.


Midday Reflections: Staying in the Stretch
🎯🌀

A moment to assess whether you’re leaning into the challenge or leaning away.

  1. “Am I still in contact with what made me nervous this morning?”
    — Check whether you’ve numbed, avoided, or engaged.
  2. “What part of me wants to play it safe—and what does it fear?”
    — Give voice to the protective instinct without letting it steer.
  3. “How can I stay present with the stretch, not just the stress?”
    — Shift from tension to intention.

Guiding Thought: Growth lives in the tension between comfort and courage. Stay with the stretch—it’s shaping you.
