Morning Check In

Reconnect with Yourself

• Check in daily: Ask yourself, “What do I need today?” before asking “What do others need from me?”

• Journaling: Write freely about what excites you, what drains you, and where you feel most alive. Patterns emerge.

Live by Your Values

• Identify your top 3–5 values (like freedom, connection, creativity, honesty).

• Use them as a compass for decisions, even small ones. If a choice doesn’t align, that’s a sign to pause.

Express Without Apology

• Speak your truth with kindness, not with over-explaining or shrinking.

• Let your style, hobbies, and voice reflect you—not the version others expect.

Release Comparison

• Social media and societal “shoulds” can pull you away from yourself.

• When you catch yourself comparing, ask: “What does this moment show me about what I want—or don’t want?”

Build Safe Connections

• Surround yourself with people who encourage your growth, not just your “mask.”

• Notice who you feel most “yourself” around—that’s a clue to where you belong.

Honor Your Body & Energy

• Tune into what feels expansive (light, exciting, energizing) vs. contractive (heavy, draining, forced).

• Your body often knows before your mind does.

Remember: Authenticity doesn’t mean being the same every day—it means honoring the truth of who you are today.
