Who do you want to become?

Choose a quality you want to practise. Find a real action that fits you, and keep an honest record of the attempt.

  1. Want to Be More Confident? Choose a Real Conversation to Try

    Turn what confidence means to you into one question, request or opinion you choose to voice. Keep your act separate from another person’s response.

  2. Want to Be More Creative? Make and Finish Something of Your Own

    Choose a form, finish a rough first piece and pick one revision. Practical writing, drawing and making examples give you somewhere to start.

  3. Want to Be More Adventurous? Try Something Beyond Your Usual Route

    Choose a new place, skill or experience that fits your interests. Check access, cost and safety before a real attempt.

  4. Want to Be More Consistent? Keep One Promise to Yourself

    Make one useful promise with a clear finish line. Plan for the likely interruption and record what happened before promising more.

  5. Want to Be More Present? Give One Moment Your Full Attention

    Choose a conversation, meal or piece of work you want to be there for. Change the setting and keep one useful observation.

  6. Want to Be More Helpful? Offer Something Someone Actually Needs

    Find a real need, ask permission and deliver one clear offer. Use a worked example to make help useful to its recipient.

  7. Who Do You Want to Become? Turn Your Answer into an Action

    Use a blank and worked action map to connect what you admire, where you are starting and a real act you control.

  8. Personal Progress Journal: Keep an Honest Record of What You Did

    Copy a practical journal template. Record completed, partial and failed attempts, then use those facts to choose your next act.
