Do you wake up with a sense of direction, or does it feel like you're moving through fog? Think about your work, your calling, whatever gets you out of bed. When you imagine it, does it light something up or slowly drain you? Are you running toward something or away from it, or not sure?

Who makes up your daily life? Partners, family, friends, flatmates, colleagues. Are they filling you up or wearing you down? If you had to name the one relationship having the biggest impact on you right now, good or bad, what's it doing to you?

Look around you, literally. Your city, your street, your home. Does it feel like yours, or like somewhere you're just passing through? If your soul needs trees, do you have trees? If it needs ocean, is it close? When you walk through your front door at the end of a hard day, does the space hold you, or add to the weight?

This one's for you, so give yourself the real answer. How are you doing financially, materially? Skip the polished version. Do you feel like you have enough, or is there a low-level hum of worry that follows you around? Are you building something, holding steady, or slowly sliding?

Last one, and the most important. How are you doing, beyond "fine"? Are you sleeping? Moving? Does your body feel like an ally or something you're managing? And mentally, are you okay, or are you carrying something heavy right now? If you fudge this answer, everything else in your read will be slightly off. So be real. Are you trending up or spiraling down?
