my morning questions
This is a public version of a private practice I have had for years.
I use these prompts every morning to start my day.
You’re invited to do the same.

We answer a series of questions daily to start the day, and to protect it. The questions are there to trigger something. Nothing written on any one day is significant in itself; the value is in the repetition, today and again when today is tomorrow. After a few years I can go back to this day two years ago and know how it played out, and how I am different from that person.
