Begin Again

“I know what works for me now.”

Why this challenge

Begin Again is not supposed to be another punishment or another test of endurance.

It is the transition from being given challenges to understanding yourself well enough to choose them.

The point is to recognize what genuinely changed, keep what works, discard what does not, and start again from a more complete understanding of yourself.

What you do

Review the entire program.

Ask:

What changed?

What did I keep?

What did I discard?

Which challenges actually affected me?

Which behaviors became natural?

Which behaviors were useless?

What did I learn about myself?

What do I want to continue?

Then choose your own next challenges.

Your record

Where this stands

The tracker is the record. Writing on a day checks that day in. Mark the challenge completed when you finished it, or not continuing when you are done with it. Those marks are the review on your map. The lines under a day are here for whatever you want to say.

Notes on the whole atlasThese are the same notes at the top of your map. Begin Again asks you to read what you already wrote.

In your own words

This space is here when the questions are not how you want to answer. Write it the way you would say it. Add a picture if that is closer. It stays with this challenge, and it stays on your map.
