Three Questions, One You
No one is grading these. The honest answer is the useful answer.
A recent moment when you needed the approval.
Think back over the last week or two. One specific moment when you noticed yourself reaching for someone else’s nod, like, response, or reaction. What happened — and what actually triggered the need?
How dependent are you on others’ opinions for your self-esteem?
1 = barely register what people think, 10 = it runs the show. Slide to where you actually are — not where you’d like to be.
Why this number? What does it look like when it’s running?
The last time you felt proud — without needing anyone to clap.
A moment that was just yours. You didn’t post it. You didn’t text anyone about it. You just knew. Bring it back. What was it?
