A Practice for Self-Discovery
Fifty reflections for a woman keeping her own record.
$18.88
On small blooms
Recovery gets described as something that will bloom later. This book does not agree.
A morning you got through is a bloom. So is an hour, a phone call, a meal held down.
Not steps toward a flowering. The flowering.
Five sections · Fifty reflections
They begin small and grow deeper as you go
Reflections 1–10
Small Beginnings
Start where the day actually is.
Reflections 11–20
Noticing
You cannot tend what you have not seen.
Reflections 21–30
Looking Inward
The question is not who you should be. It is who you are.
Reflections 31–40
Tending What's Growing
Something in you is already growing. This is where you feed it.
Reflections 41–50
Deep Roots, Open Sky
Roots first. Then everything else.
A look inside
No schedule and no way to fall behind
The reflections are numbered, not dated. Skip the ones that do not land today. Come back when they do.
Reflection 3 · Small Beginnings
Something small that made me smile:
Reflection 16 · Noticing
Name one small victory from this week and how it felt in the moment.
Reflection 50 · Deep Roots, Open Sky
Finish this sentence, then keep going for as long as you like: “I am still here, and…”
Crisis lines in the front of the book, for the hard days
A page for the people you can call
A blank page after every section, for whatever the prompts did not ask
A closing practice for reading yourself back
Write badly. Write in fragments. Write one word and close the book.
It still counts.
