It All Starts When You Do
Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
Where were you, and how were you feeling, the first time you sat down with this book? Did it feel like good timing for you?
The title tells us that change starts with us. What's one small, comforting ritual you already do just for yourself, like a morning coffee, a walk, or a favorite blanket?
Was there a part of the book that felt like someone finally put words to something you'd been feeling? What was it like to read it?
The book encourages us to look at ourselves with honesty but also with kindness. Who in your life showed you that kind of gentleness, and how did it change you?
Did any passage make you think about a relationship you're grateful for, whether it's a partner, a friend, or family? What did it bring up for you?
Growth can feel exciting and uncomfortable at the same time. Was there a moment in the reading that made you want to close the book and take a breath? What was going on for you?
If you could go back and give a younger version of yourself one piece of comfort or wisdom from this book, what would you share, and what age would you visit?
Now that you've finished, is there one gentle promise you'd like to make to yourself? Do you want to share it with the group so we can cheer you on?
