We’re going to begin with a self exploration journaling exercise!
In a notebook or your preference of technology, make a list of the Top 10 Strengths and Top 10 Weaknesses you feel you’ve inherited from your upbringing; this includes anything shown or taught to you.
It’s completely okay if you can’t come up with that many, and it’s also completely okay if you come up with more than 10! The purpose of this is to get your mind thinking about how your unique upbringing has shaped you and your life experience till this day. How it’s made you who you currently are.
As a bonus, also feel free to jot down how you feel about having written this list down. What surprised you the most? Was there anything that has clicked in your mind that perhaps previously you may not have paid much notice to, or hadn’t realized before?
Looking at the list from Day 1, proactively choose one Strength from your list that you wish to own even more deeply and three ways you can practically begin to live out this strength even more in your daily life.
Next, proactively choose one Weakness from your list that you wish to release or transform, along with three ways you can practically begin to resolve or release this from your daily life.
I want you to choose which version of today’s quest you will be doing from the bullet points below, based on which “camp” you are in that we’ve been talking about:
Option A: Find a short film or video series about your culture and history, and come up with 20 or more new facts written down to share that you’ve learned & a short sentence for each in how it impacts you and your life.
-OR-
Option B: Find a short film or video series that discusses the strength you chose to own yesterday, or discusses how others overcame the same weakness that you chose yesterday. Come up with 20 or more new facts written down to share that you’ve learned & a short sentence for each in how it impacts you and your life.
Today, we’re going to connect to our line of ancestors by writing them a letter.
Write a letter to your ancestors. What do you want them to know about your life in this present day? What do you want to know from them? What might you want to thank them for? What painful thing between you and your familial line needs to be acknowledged? And what might you say on your side to reduce that pain between you and them?
At this point in time, it may not be an option to go back in time and interact with your ancestors in a physical way.But it is possible to interact with them in a non-physical way. You’ll see how in just a moment.
First, be sure to grab the meditation from your Quest Kit if you haven’t already!
