Habits & Patterns

1. What is one habit or routine you follow every day without much
thought, and what deeper need or fear does it serve?
Hint: Peterson noted that the actions you repeat daily essentially
shape your life. Does this habit add value to your day, or is it just
autopilot?

2. When you feel upset or stressed, what do you instinctively do first to


cope, and what might that reaction hide about your true feelings?
Hint: Notice how you cope – sometimes we use distractions or
routines to hide from deeper feelings rather than address them
directly.

3. Identify a recurring problem or conflict in your life. How might your


own actions or attitudes contribute to that pattern?
Hint: Jung said “when an inner situation is not made conscious, it
happens outside as fate”orionphilosophy.com. Consider how your
actions might be keeping this problem going..

4. What do you habitually do to avoid discomfort or boredom, and


what is the uncomfortable thing you are really avoiding?
Hint: Watch for the ways you try to escape discomfort. Often the
real task is to face the uncomfortable feeling or truth you are
avoiding.

5. Think of a mistake or regret that keeps happening. What decision or


belief is behind those situations?
Hint: Repeating the same regret can highlight an unexamined belief
or fear driving you. Identify the pattern behind those choices.

Values & Long-Term Goals

6. What activity makes you lose track of time (when you are truly
enthusiastic), and what does that reveal about your values?
Hint: Activities that absorb you often point to your true values or
purpose. Reflect on what your flow state reveals about what matters
to you.

7. What principle or value do you claim to hold, and can you recall a
time when your actions failed to match it?
Hint: Compare your ideals to past actions. If you acted against that
value, what fear or desire was influencing you?

8. When you imagine the person, you want to become, what fear or
habit feels most in conflict with that vision?
Hint: Visualize your ideal self and notice what stops you. Often a
hidden insecurity or habit is what stands in the way of growth.
9. Imagine yourself at 80 looking back on your life. What do you hope
you did not neglect, and how could that insight change what you do
now?
Hint: Asking your future self what matters can highlight current
priorities and fears. What would your older self-warn you not to
miss?

10. What dream or goal have you been postponing, and what
inner voice or belief has been stopping you?
Hint: Notice the doubts or excuses that surface when you consider
this goal. They often reveal the insecurities or limiting beliefs
holding you back.

Identity & Persona

11. What label or role do you identify with most (e.g. “student,”
“parent,” “creative person”), and is it truly your own or more what
others expect of you?
Hint: Consider whether this identity feels like a choice or an
expectation. The roles you emphasize may hide parts of yourself
you have neglected.

12. When do you feel most like yourself? Describe the situation
and your company. Conversely, when do you feel least like yourself?
Hint: Notice what is different between these moments –
environment, people, or activities. Authenticity often shows where
you feel accepted and free.

13. What do you believe about yourself that you do not often
admit, even to yourself? Why do you keep it hidden?
Hint: Think about thoughts you would never share publicly. Giving
voice to your private beliefs can reveal how honest you are with
yourself.

Shadows & Inner Conflicts

14. Think of someone who triggers a strong emotional reaction in


you. What qualities in them bother you, and could those qualities
exist in you too?
Hint: Jung wrote that "everyone carries a
shadow"orionphilosophy.com. Qualities you dislike in others might
be parts of yourself that you have tried to hide.

15. What mask or persona do you put on around certain people,


and what part of yourself are you hiding behind it?
Hint: Reflect on why you change around certain people. Masks often
cover vulnerabilities or try to meet others’ expectations.
16. What does your inner critic say to you most often, and what
fear or desire is beneath that criticism?
Hint: Listen to your inner critic and identify the fear behind it. Often
that harsh voice is protecting you from some perceived failure or
reminding you of an unfulfilled wish.

17. When did you last feel jealous or envious, and what was it
really that you envied? What might that reveal about what you
want?
Hint: Jealousy highlights desires or qualities you value. See these
feelings as clues to what you want in your own life.

18. What part of yourself (emotion, impulse, or trait) do you find


hard to accept? Imagine giving it a voice—what would it say?
Hint: Jung’s concept of the shadow includes traits we
rejectorionphilosophy.com. Try giving that hidden part attention and
compassion instead of ignoring it.

Truth & Responsibility

19. What would change if you only said and did things you
honestly believed? Is there a gap between your words and actions?
Hint: Peterson asked what would happen if you only spoke beliefs
you deeply heldhighexistence.com. Notice any area where you act
out of fear of admitting the truth.

20. How could you become stronger or more capable so that you
can manage your current problems or help others in crisis? What’s
holding you back?
Hint: Peterson suggests building strength to face
criseshighexistence.com. What fears or habits would you need to
overcome to manage life’s challenges better?

21. Which daily actions bring you the most meaning and
satisfaction, and which just happen automatically without much
thought?
Hint: Peterson noted that the things adding quality to your life are
often small daily actionshighexistence.com. Identify which of your
routines truly serve you versus those you do mindlessly.

22. Where in your life are you not fully honest with others or
yourself, and what would it take to admit that truth?
Hint: Consider any white lies or omissions you use to protect
yourself. Bringing honesty into those areas can remove the masks
you have been wearing.
