✨ Reflection Prompts

Tighten your trust game—these questions will spark what bonds need!

  • Honesty Hit: When’s a time you dodged truth—and it cost you? What’d honesty have changed?
  • Consistency Check: Think of a bond that drifted—where’d steadiness slip? How can you show up now?
  • Empathy Echo: Recall a time someone got you—how’d it feel? How can you give that back?
  • Trust Gap: What’s one bond wobbling? How could honesty, consistency, or empathy fix it?

🏃‍♂️ Exercises

Ready to build bonds that last? These steps will lock in trust this week.

  • Honesty Drop (10 minutes): Tell one person something real—small, true. Feel the shift.
  • Consistency Run (5 minutes): Pick someone—text or call, same time, three days. Keep it tight.
  • Empathy Reach (1 day): Ask one person, “What’s that like for you?”—listen, don’t fix. Note it.
  • Trust Cue (Ongoing): Choose a trigger (e.g., “Bond” or a pin) to spark honesty, consistency, and empathy daily.
