If you could choose five people to sit on the board inside your mind, who would they be?
This question can help towards increased self awareness, decision making, and value clarification.
Think of your inner board as the council that helps guide your choices, shape your mindset, and keep you aligned with the person you want to become. These people can be alive, deceased, mentors, authors, characters or maybe even future versions of yourself.
Here are some potential considerations:
-The Visionary/Idealist/Inspired/Passionate: someone who pulls you toward possibility
-The Truth Teller/The Open minded one: someone who gives clarity, honesty and grounded feedback; someone who may call you out on your b.s.(hopefully in kindness!); someone who may offer different perspectives
-The Compassionate One: someone who offers steadiness, emotion regulation,
-The Strategist/Problem solver: someone who helps you think long term and make wise decisions
-The Courage Catalyst/Motivator/Cheerleader: someone who reminds you to stretch past fear or take action even when others around may say otherwise.
-The Moral Compass/The Grateful: someone who reminds you of values, of other types of considerations; someone who is grounded in what is
Your choices help identify what you value, what you aspire to, and what qualities you want more of in your daily life.

Question for you: Who deserves a seat on the board in your mind and who has been sitting there rent free that needs to be replaced?
