Sometimes my life doesn’t work…
not because I’m not trying,
but because I’m still living by old agreements
I never even remember signing.
☐ “I must always be strong.”
☐ “If I stop, everything falls apart.”
☐ “My needs come last.”
☐ “I don’t deserve ease until I’ve earned it.”
☐ “I can’t be fully me – it’s too much for others.”
These aren’t truths.
These are rules written in fear,
in silence,
in inherited expectations.
But what if I pause and ask:
Who made these rules?
Are they still serving me?
Do I want to keep them?
Maybe my life doesn’t work
because it was built on scaffolding
meant to hold someone else.
Maybe today…
I can gently start to take one piece down.
🔍 Self-Inquiry question:
What “rule” have I been unconsciously living by that no longer feels true?.
✍️ Working With the Hidden Rules
Sometimes what breaks us is not life itself,
but the silent rules we keep living by.
This tool isn’t meant to fix you.
It’s here to show you where the noise is not yours.
Where the stories got written in your name…
but not by your truth.
Download it. Take your time. Breathe.
And if you wish – break a rule today.
