        COMPOSTING

        What do you want to release and let go?

        We invite you to reflect on the state of your work life, past and present.

        • What emotions and thoughts surface?
        • Is there pain, grief, self-judgment, disappointment? Can you locate a sense of joy, excitement, gratitude, even love? Where in your body do those emotions sit? What are they trying to tell you?
        • What wounds have been driving your career so far? How have they served you in the past?
        • Can you turn those wounds into wisdom?
        • What programming (fears, conditioning, beliefs, thought patterns...) need an upgrade?
        • Is there anything you must let go before you can drive into your new, more beautiful work life?

        • What will happen in an ideal case? What are your dreams?
        • Which of the ingredients are you living more actively?
        • What stands out the most? Where do you feel most pride?
        • What are you learning?
        • What are you most grateful for?
        • What brings you the most joy?
        • What is a virtue you would like more of?
        • What is a challenge you are overcoming, and what is one quality that will help you overcome that challenge?
