Reflections & Next Steps

This page helps you summarize what you’ve learned, notice the changes that have taken place, and choose where you’d like to go next. Short, honest statements are perfect.

What I’ve learned

  • I can find the gap and choose one reframed next step.
  • My lizard brain / amygdala can be calmed with body cues (my calm toolbox).
  • Unhelpful belief systems can be swapped for kinder, truer meanings I can act on.
  • My observer notices early signals so I can respond, not react.

Before & after (quick self-check)

  • Sleep: Then → Now (one line each)
  • Calm: Then → Now
  • Overthinking: Then → Now
  • Body signals I notice sooner now: ___

Wins & proofs

  • 3 moments I used the gap: 1) ___ 2) ___ 3) ___
  • 3 practices that helped most (breath/steps/senses/posture/kind phrase): ___
  • 1 belief I updated → new wording: “___” → “___”

My daily anchor (choose one)

Pick one simple default you’ll keep:

3 longer exhales at doorways
Label steps L/R once per hallway
Five-sense sweep at the kettle
Soft gaze + one breath before email
Kind phrase: “One small step”

Where it lives (time/place cue): ___   Start date: ___

 

Where from here?

  • Keep: one practice I’ll continue daily → ___
  • Refine: one situation I want to handle better → ___ (my new meaning: ___)
  • Try: one new micro-action this week → ___

Personal playbook (fill & save)

  • Stress script: “This is stress, not danger. One small step is ___.”
  • Sleep script: “Lights down, phone away, longer exhale.”
  • Overthinking script: “Name it once; return to soles/breath.”

Check-in scales (today)

  • Calm 1–10: ___
