Module 2: CURIOUS

Next Step:MODULE 3

"Curiosity... gives you clues on the incredible scavenger hunt of your life."

~Elizabeth Gilbert~

ABOUT THIS MODULE

Welcome to your own personal Curiosity Shop. 

It's time to imagine the possibilities of becoming the person you desire to be.

This module will get you started on the scavenger hunt for your remarkable life, and help you explore what you have to do to get there.

So, dust off all those dreams you left behind, and give them another chance. It's never too late. Or create some shiny new dreams. After all, your life belongs to you.

The practice of curiosity is to ask questions, and the easiest ones to ask are 'why', 'who', 'what' and 'how'. As you work through this module, look back over your journal entries, and keep in mind what you discovered about yourself in Module 1.

And keep journaling.

Keep going with your 30-day challenge.

Remember there is no right answer.

"Our job in this lifetime is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we imagine we ought to be, but to find out who we already are and become it."
~ Steven Pressfield ~

Don't worry if you don't feel any closer to finding your purpose or passion.

No judgement, just curiosity.

If you haven't already, watch the video, then head over to the exercises and practices, and get busy.

Journal your discoveries and post anything you'd like to share in the comments box below.

Stay curious, explore at your own pace and let your remarkable self emerge.

Enjoy

Veronica

JOURNALING

Here are some prompts to help you get your curiosity journaling going.

Your entries can be as short or long as you like. The prompts are there to help you get started, and to keep your curiosity growing.

After each of the exercises try writing how you feel and what you think.

Or answer some of these questions:

  1. Were there any surprises in my responses to the love, value, time exercise or the Four Tendencies Quiz?
  2. Has writing to my future self made me think differently about myself?
  3. How does putting the attention on my purpose make me feel?
  4. What behaviours do I have to start, stop or continue to reach my remarkable future?
