Begin the day not with answers, but with wonder.

  1. “What would shift if I treated imagination as a form of intelligence?”
    — Reframe creativity as a strength, not a luxury.
  2. “Where am I relying on facts instead of possibilities?”
    — Notice where certainty might be limiting your vision.
  3. “How can I invite playful thinking into today’s plans?”
    — Let curiosity shape your approach to even routine tasks.

    — Catch yourself in the act of playing it safe.
  3. “How might I use metaphor or story to unlock new insight?”
