Find Your Best Self Today
Finding your best you can be a challenge and I can totally relate!
Society puts so much pressure on us to be “on point” 24/7 – be your best self all day, every day. Which is just ridiculous, if you ask me.
Some of us are just trying to survive, keep afloat. We’re juggling work, family, kids, health, bills, dreams, goals. And all with a big smile.
I can totally relate!
Is why I know you don’t need a road-map to you. You already have the answers to that question.
We’re just so busy caught up in our day to day that we forget our way back to who we are. So, yes – we already know who our best self is. We just need some reminding of how to get there.
And maybe it’s not an everyday thing. But, often enough to make us smile when life hands us some lemons.
Disclaimer: I want to stress that I am not a psychiatrist, psychologist or any other medical -ist. You may want to consult a licensed professional if you truly feel deeply unhappy, unmotivated, depressed and the like.
These 50 questions are designed to help you get back to that great place, your best self! Tap into them as often as you see fit. No pressure.

Great list Grace! It is so hard as a mom to think about being your best self, but when you’re not… nobody in the family is!
There’s a reason why we put oxygen masks on first, in case of an emergency when flying 🙂 Gotta take care of you, Momma Bear!
