A Year of Writing to Uncover the Authentic Self

(6) Beginnings

1. Recall a time in your life when you made a fresh start. How did your life change? 2. Tell the story of a time that you tried something new. 3. Do you feel like trying new things is harder for you than most people? If so, why do you think that is? 4. Think about how a beautiful relationship started. What was the moment it began like? 5. Do you have a favorite hobby or activity? What made you get started? 6. Can you think of a time when something bad (such as a breakup, tragedy, or job loss) ended up being the catalyst for a beautiful new beginning? Write about it. 7. Have you ever read a book, watched a movie, or had a conversation that sparked something in you that changed your life forever? Tell the story.
