✨ Reflection Prompts
Let go to grow—these questions will help you release what’s blocking your next level:
- See It: Where in your life or work are you pushing but not progressing?
- Drop It: What pressure, plan, or pattern might you need to release?
- Trust It: Where have you seen clarity arrive after letting go? What would it look like to lean into that again?
- Surrender Gap: What are you afraid will happen if you stop controlling it? What might actually open instead?
🏃♂️ Exercises
Practice the Surrender Strategy this week with these simple steps:
- See Step (10 minutes): Journal one area where you’re over-efforting. What’s driving the push?
- Drop Move (5 minutes): Choose one task, role, or goal to unhook from—even for just 24 hours.
- Trust Lift (1 day): Take one calm, aligned action today without demanding an immediate result. Let it land when it lands.
- Surrender Cue (Ongoing): Pick a physical gesture (e.g., breath, open palms, or mantra like “Flow it”) to interrupt control mode and return to trust throughout the day.
