Reflective practice

Five Elements Morning Reflection Prompts

A morning practice does not have to produce a better day. It can simply make space to notice how the day begins.

Five simple prompts

Wood: What would I like to begin? Fire: What deserves warmth or expression? Earth: What would help me feel supported? Metal: What can I make clearer? Water: Where could I allow more quiet?

Keep it brief

Choose one question, write one or two sentences, and continue with your day. There is no right answer, special item, or promised result. If the practice adds pressure, make it smaller or leave it aside.
