Questions to know yourself better
Keep in your notes app as an ongoing project (or notion!)
What’s my life story (if this were Wikipedia or a doc)? What transformations have I gone through? Objectively and with situational awareness, describe your current self and your worldviews. What major projects have I had/have going on chronologically? How do I make decisions? What are my values? What’s my mindset/POV toward ____ (common think, societal thing or lifestyle thing). What are my routines? (Daily/morning/night/weekly/ monthly/quarterly/yearly). How do I prefer to /best work? How do I prefer to /best play? How do I prefer to /best rest? How do I prefer to /best socialize? How do I prefer to /best reflect or document? Describe my ideal life, now-> end of life. Describe my ideal romantic relationship/partner? Describe my ideal inner circle friend? Describe my ideal professional career, now until end of life. What would I like to leave behind after I leave earth or be remembered for? (Legacy/creative projects/intellectual contributions/philanthropy etc) Do I have any blocks/flaws/blind spots about myself/shortcomings? Any that I’d like to improve or work on? Any that I’d like to learn to embrace or accept? What is my identity? (Iterate until you can describe it with clarity) How do i navigate complex or heavy emotions? How do I navigate triggers? (If I have any) Do I have any unresolved or repressed trauma? What’s my attachment style? What’s my learning style? What’s my approach to novelty and adventure? Are there any life experiences I want but haven’t had yet? When do I feel safest? When I do feel most liberated? When do I feel most creative? When do I feel most confident? When do I feel most “myself?” When do I feel most calm? If I had a magic wand and I could make anything happen- what would I do with it?
