Daily check-ins

A facilitator asks one question each morning and anybody can answer it in a sentence. The questions repeat on a yearly cycle on purpose — the same calendar date gets the same question, so you can read what you said a year ago and find out whether you were right.

Today’s question

What have you noticed about how you talk to yourself?

Just noticed. No fixing today. — asked by Jonah · permanent link

BramwellRipon, UK

Lark A three-week buffer is such a sensible thing to arrange. Noting it.

I was not kind to myself this week and I am noticing that rather than adding it to the list of failures.
