✨ Reflection Prompts

Use these to challenge loyalty loops and shift from stuck to strong:

• Audit: Who energizes you after every interaction? Who leaves you second-guessing your path?
• Anchor: What values are your most important relationships currently reflecting back to you?
• Adjust: Where is space or silence needed for your next level to grow?
• Self-Check: What connection are you keeping out of guilt, fear, or obligation—not alignment?

🏃‍♂️ Exercises

Practice relational alignment this week with these simple but powerful actions:

• Audit Step (10 minutes): List the top five people you spend time with. Mark who fuels and who fogs.
• Anchor Move (5 minutes): Journal one core value you want more of in your circle—and who reflects it.
• Adjust Lift (1 day): Set one relational boundary, request, or pause to protect your clarity.
• ROI Cue (Ongoing): Use a phrase like “Protect the vision” when tempted to shrink for comfort.
