A Reflective Check-In
Designed by BearmoreWhich part of you is trying to run things today?
A reflective check-in for the days when your mind already feels full. Notice the different voices pulling at you, without needing to fix, silence or follow any of them.
The runsheet
Sit with one question
Self-guided inquiryTake one question about how you're really doing and give it your full attention, rather than answering it on the fly. Sit with it, then answer however suits you, on paper or just in your head. One honest answer is enough to start from.
20 min activityBearmore’s thoughts on doing self-guided inquiry before visualisation
This pairing is especially effective because inquiry can surface personal questions that visualisation can use or be prompted by.
Visualise your calm self at the wheel
VisualisationPicture a calm version of yourself at the centre, with the busier parts of you gathered around like advisors. Spend ten minutes there, letting the parts speak without letting any one of them drive.
10 min activityBearmore’s thoughts on doing visualisation before journaling
This is a strong combination because visualisation produces vivid scenes and aims that writing can then capture and further develop on the page.
Write down what each part said
JournalingWrite down what each loud part said and what your calm self answered. Specific names if it helps: 'the planner', 'the perfectionist', 'the tired one'. One paragraph is enough.

About this Burst
Some days, one part of you wants to get moving, another wants to hide under the covers, another is already listing everything that could go wrong. This Burst takes a light, everyday-practice approach to that inner crowd.
