Reflection Questions:

Where are you holding back from integrating inner work?

All questions posed in the episode:

How can we take all that powerful inner work that we do, the awareness, the self discovery, the breakthroughs, the healing, and how can we bring it all into our day to day lives?

What is one teeny, tiny decision, one very small step you can make today that aligns with your growth or your new way of being?

How can you align your environment, your surroundings, your situations with your inner work?

Does your environment, your space, and the people in your life support your new way of being? Do they support you fully in who you are becoming?

Are you acting on autopilot? Are you letting an old habit rule the day?

When you notice the old habit, the autopilot, can you consciously, deliberately, intentionally choose to do something differently, to do the thing differently, to show up and be different?

Can you show up as your true self, even when it's uncomfortable?

Can you act in a new way, even when it's uncomfortable, even when you're afraid of someone's judgment or what someone might think of you?

Where in your life are you still holding back from fully integrating your inner work?

What is one small step you can take today to embody your inner work more fully?
