✨ Reflection Prompts

Break the box—these questions will ignite your rebel power:

• See It: What rule, norm, or belief has boxed you in lately? How does it conflict with your values or growth?
• Crack It: When’s a time you challenged a rule and it freed you? What did it take to make that move?
• Build It: What’s one new standard or rhythm you want to create for how you lead or live?
• Rebel Gap: Where are you still nodding out of habit? What’s one shift that would feel truer today?

🏃‍♂️ Exercises

Ready to lead by breaking? These actions will help you use your playbook this week:

• See Step (10 minutes): Write down one “dead rule” you’re still living by—then cross it out, boldly.
• Crack Move (5 minutes): Choose one norm or habit to challenge this week—skip it, flip it, or replace it.
• Build Lift (1 day): Create a new ritual, rhythm, or expectation that reflects how you want to lead—then live it.
• Rebel Cue (Ongoing): Pick a physical anchor (e.g., a fist bump or mantra like “Break it”) to remind yourself to see, crack, and build every day.
