Explore a recurring belief or rule · D8.2

Put a familiar belief into words

A recurring assumption seems relevant to how you see an everyday situation.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Choose a recent, manageable example and write the assumption it brought up.
2. Ask whether the sentence describes this event or makes a broader statement about yourself, others, or the world.
3. Write one question about that broader statement without needing to answer or change it now.

Reflect

Does the wording capture the belief accurately?
