Prewriting: Try to think of a time where you felt stable, balanced, and at ease? What areas of yourself and your life were you pouring into? What areas did you put on hold? Take some time to free-write and reflect before diving into this workshop (Make sure you have a writing/typing utensil, some paper, and some self-compassion!).

Prompt: Take a moment to think about how these lists interact with each-other, and how you can use them as a guide to understanding your inner-world a bit better.
