  1. 1. Where in your life are you pursuing fixity where it might be beneficial to open yourself to the possibility—or in some cases, the inevitability—of change?
  2. 2. In what parts of your life are you holding on to unrealistic expectations?
  3. 3. Are there elements of your identity to which you cling too tightly?
  4. 4. How might you use your core values—the rugged and flexible boundaries of your identity—to help you navigate the challenges in your life?
  5. 5. In what circumstances do you tend to react when you would benefit from responding, and what conditions predispose you to that?
