📝 Journal Prompts (mentioned in Segment 4)

1. Where in my life do I feel fake, forced, or flat?
2. What do I pretend to enjoy but secretly dread—and why?
3. What would I do if no one had an opinion about it?
4. Where do I feel most like myself, and how can I create more of that feeling?

Tiny Habits to Spark Joy & Purpose (from Segment 3)

• Five-Minute Morning Check-In: ask “What do I need today?” before you touch your phone.
• Schedule Joy Like an Appointment: 15-minute dance break, device-free walk, or guilt-free nap.
• Say One Empowered “No”: decline a soul-draining invite or delay answering that energy-sucking text.
• Follow Your Energy: notice the tasks that light you up and weave more of them into your week.
