Intention:

Here we present prompts as ideas and instruments for complementing your investigations, introspections, inspirations, and intentions.

Places (moving, migrating, traveling; experiences in specific rooms, buildings, towns, countries)

Time (history, past, present, future)

Nature (flora, fauna, mineral, climate)

Body (nutrition, sleep, exercise, illness)

Drawings (of yourself, family, scenes, etc.)

Play (using puppets, dolls, games, etc.)

Drama (act out roles based on your experiences)

Sand tray (create scenes with figurines)

Introspection- Copy, paste, or write insights and self-discoveries that have contributed to your development. Topics not included in the previous pages include:

Names (first names, nicknames, titles)

Life themes (repeating trends and patterns)

Virtues and vices (good and bad habits)

Images and metaphors

Amulets and altars

Diplomas and awards

Ideas and inventions

Intention- Think of yourself as an intentional being, directed to certain goals, who, with awareness and determination, can achieve change and undertake new ventures, eliminating obsolete or harmful patterns. Make lists, copy ideas, paste, or draw pictures, or write freely about your intentions. State your resolutions, and acknowledge progress and setbacks. Here are some ideas for your consideration:

Take care of the health of my body

Stimulate the wholesome development of my mind

Cultivate the virtues of my soul

Tend to my relationships

Learn or practice skills

Change behaviors

Adjust attitudes

Manage and express emotions constructively
