“The Wheel of Life: Steps To Bringing Balance To My Life”
Examining Your Existing Belief Systems
&
Your Emotional Starting Gates
Welcome back for Day 13 of your challenge.
Your challenge today is to begin to uncover, and begin to look at your existing belief systems, and emotional starting gates regarding the “Intimacy” in your life.
Intimacy: this area includes the ways in which you share your truest thoughts and feelings with yourself and others.
Listed below you will find thought provoking questions that will give you an opportunity to look at your existing belief systems and/or your emotional starting gates pertaining to this area. Remember, belief systems are not intrinsically wrong or right, they just are. That being said, there are no right or wrong answers. Yes, spend time with this, but on the other hand, do not spend too much time analyzing yourself as you answer. Write down what comes to your mind first, and then continue. Often your first answer, your gut answer, is the correct answer.
Finally, after you have answered the questions for this area, give it a “satisfaction score.” How satisfied have you been with yourself regarding this area overall, but especially in the last 6 – 12 months. Are you 1(very dissatisfied) – 10 (very satisfied)?
