1) Question: Would I have more energy in the morning if I didn’t have alcohol before bed? 2) Experiment: Between 3/14 and 3/31 drink a cup of warm ginger + salt + magnesium + olive oil to wind down my night. 3) Evaluation Method: - Did I dream anything that feels heavy? - How long did I sit before starting my day? - Did I take a shower?

🎇IDENTITY & DIRECTION (full path here for reference) YOUR PROMPT BELOW⬇️⬇️⬇️ This Path and Micro-Experiment is about how you are showing up right now. Who am I now and what deserves more space? - How you describe yourself - What roles you are still carrying - What roles you are ready to drop - What you want to step into 📌WEEK 1 - PINNED POST INSTRUCTIONS📌 1️⃣Step 1: Look at Your Evidence Open your Big Book of You. Review: - Your top skills - Your top interests - Your lived experiences - Your current desires and environment Now ask yourself: - What part of me am I not using? - What do I keep saying I want but haven’t acted on? - Where am I still describing myself based on the past? - What feels true but I haven’t claimed yet? Don’t analyze. Just notice what stands out. 2️⃣ Step 2: Choose ONE Question Your question must: - Start with “What would happen if…” - Be about identity or direction - Be testable in 30 days - Not require a life overhaul Strong Question Examples 1. What would happen if I described myself based on what I’m building, not what I did? 2. What would happen if I acted like someone with a future instead of someone wrapping up? 3. What would happen if I dropped the phrase “I don’t know” for one month? 4. What would happen if I claimed one word as my identity this month? (Writer. Explorer. Builder. Teacher.) 5. What would happen if I stopped apologizing for wanting more? 6. What would happen if I let myself be seen as a beginner? 7. What would happen if I stopped over-explaining my choices? 8. What would happen if I said no to one role I’ve outgrown? 9. What would happen if I leaned into one skill I’ve minimized? 10. What would happen if I behaved like someone who trusts herself? 11. What would happen if I stopped deferring to others in decisions? 12. What would happen if I gave myself permission to change publicly? 13. What would happen if I stopped hiding one part of myself? 14. What would happen if I treated my interests as serious? 15. What would happen if I stopped saying “this is just how I am”?

Hi friends, Today's prompt is an encouragement to work through your inventories in preparation for our next Micro-Experiment - Connecting the Dots (coming Monday). We're wrapping a month of the 'Meet Yourself on Paper' micro-experiment. While our micro-experiments are never 'over' - it's still there for you whenever you want to work on it, but we are moving to a next micro-experiment. In February we'll use our inventories (the evidence we've collected about who we are in the Meet Yourself on Paper ME) and complete simple exercises, including using AI, to find micro ways to build new things into our life. We'll begin experimenting with new identities by connecting different parts of you, together, in unique ways. And, if you've not had the chance to work on your inventories, I encourage you to take some time this weekend so you have some items to work with in our next experiment. Let me know below, who has a first pass on the inventories and who is working through them? No judgement, just want to get a sense of where everyone is. This weekend I am working on our next experiment - CONNECTING THE DOTS - as well as building a simpler structure for our micro-experiments. Remember, I am building this community as we go and refining as I learn more. All feedback welcome. Cheers, Colleen I know we'd love to hear from you regarding your findings from our Meet Yourself on Paper experiment. Feel free to post below, or create your own post.
