Emotional

• Understand top 10 themes in your life (relationships, projects, food, volunteering, etc.).
• Create a simplified model of the large change you want and watch your reaction to change. E.g., clean out a cupboard to create space to receive. (Watch your mental processing and how you resist.)
• Give attention to yourself and the change process. Maintain discipline.
