Is there something that you have truly intended to do, or to attempt, but for some reason you always put it on the back burner? Usually, it’s something big, something that seems daunting or intimidating. This is a thought-provoking exercise that requires a pen & paper or a note-taking device. The goal here is to uncover some deep desire, a connection you didn’t know was there. This will help you see more clearly what can drive you to take action.

Organized life
Space Body Mind: I want to work on organizing these things because I’m tired of ignoring how I create my reality, the degree of it, and if I can do this I will be able to do wonderful things. And why? To be loved: this is a very powerful

Deeper meaning of my intentions
Through a series of 3 simple questions. I was presented with the vulnerable need I wanted to hide and cover it up in a way that won’t directly efficiently or even successfully address what I need and deserve. And one step further would be “why do I want to be loved” And I can say he or she In the end whether it’s true or not, it’s also true that my value isn’t dependent on that persons opinion even though emotionally I am triggered and don’t have a space for mindfulness right now to admit I need to love myself and become comfortable in my own body to be a creative loving force for the duration of my life time

Why....🤔
Have I not worked on and completed a project that I have “intended” to work on for months? I have asked the question, received my answer, asked why again and received further information. I have now taken an in-depth glance at this inner struggle and now understand what is transpiring, the reason it is occurring and what I can do to handle this and move forward. I am grateful for this session because I usually ask myself why once or twice but have not carried my questioning deep enough to genuinely answer the question. Lesson learned. Thank you. Namaste

Discovering the why behind a goal
Doing this exercise helped me realize that when you find the reason you want to do something it makes your desire to do that stronger.

Driven by a deeper meaning
Wow, a lot makes sense in myself. As i wrote this out i feel encouraged to ask one more why? And the answer relates to how i’ve FELT. Well i non longer want to be associated or attached to certain emotions. I want to CHANGE and cross a river of change so that i am not in those same emotions.

Deepening...
Going for that deep inner subconscious reason to take action on something I consciously want. This helped me clarify it into one sentence which I needed to do and did. I was able to get some new light & life breathed into it! Thanks Marissa & Aura!! ❤️☮️🍀

Driven by a deeper meaning
I learned some really important lessons about why I’ve been procrastinating about exercise. Well, not so much why I’ve been procrastinating, rather why I wanted to do it - a deeper reason than just being physically fit. Hope I remember it in the morning! Lol I’m a great one for starting projects and not finishing them - have several waiting right now. When I get the exercise going, I’ll do this again and see how it works! Thanks to Kathy whose reflections inspired me to listen to this!

Wanna be healthy I wanna be healthy so I can get more stuff in my life done Because I feel like things are not what they should Be for myself. I could accomplish more. I want to accomplish more. I feel like I could be a better person. I want to be the best person I can be without the daily issues I have had. I want to be the best person I can be for myself and others. ***I do deserve to feel excited about life. *** I want to be confident. So I can peruse my comedy career.

Deeper Meaning
What a simple thing to do, with such an eye-opening outcome! I really didn’t understand the power of the simple question ‘why’ until I did this exercise. Thank you.

Eye Opening
I have a job interview to be a barista in a little while and I wrote that down as my goal. It asked “why” the first time and that was easy. The 2nd “why” wasn’t too hard either, but when I got to the 3rd “why”, tears came to my eyes. I never really realized why exactly, to a deeper extent, I wanted to make coffee for people. It went far past the drink itself, the cash register, or the mysterious science behind the little green bean. I loved this little exercise. Amazing way to start the day!
