Activity: A guided self-assessment

The following exercise should help you further understand where you come from, what shaped your body & mind in the past and what is influencing your life in the present.

Take a good look at every question asked. How would you rate your current situation on a scale of 1 to 10? Think about what made you choose the number and write it down. This group of questions is primarily focused on your personal life (we will go more professional later) but you can totally use it for both areas.

Mind

• Do you feel clear-headed, engaged, and intellectually challenged?
• In which situations do you feel the most engaged, motivated?
• Which situation brings you down usually?
• What can you do to avoid these situations?
• How can you deal with these situations if they appear?

Body

• Does your body feel healthy?
• What do you do to make it feel healthy and strong?
