Begin

Take a moment before you answer.
There’s nothing to do correctly.

Placement

Think of something in your life that matters to you right now.

This can be small or significant.
It can be settled, unresolved, or somewhere in between.

Hold it in mind and consider how you’re relating to it.

Are you:

moving toward it
avoiding it
circling it
holding it carefully
or letting it sit without much attention

Put one or two sentences into words describing how you’re relating to it right now.

Friction

Bring your attention back to what you expressed.

Without changing anything, ask yourself:

Is there anything there
that you already knew,
but hadn’t stated this plainly before?

You don’t need to adjust or improve it.
Simply acknowledge that recognition.

Orientation

Before you move on, take one more moment.

There’s nothing here that requires a decision or action.

Sense whether anything feels:

more in focus
less cluttered
or more honestly placed

If nothing shifted, that’s also fine.

End

You can leave this here.
There’s nothing to carry forward unless you want to.
