Quick reflection prompts
Feelings and spending
Think about a recent money decision. Separate what happened, how you felt, and what you assumed would happen next. This is reflection, not a diagnosis.
Money and self-worth
Describe a financial setback as an event rather than a personal identity. What facts can you state without labeling yourself?
Family conversations
Each person can name one thing money represents to them: security, freedom, care, status, or something else. Different meanings can explain a disagreement without deciding who is right.
Values and tradeoffs
Write down what matters to you before comparing costs. A tradeoff is a choice between uses of limited resources, not a verdict about your worth.
Facts and assumptions
For a question you are considering, make three lists: what you know, what you are assuming, and what remains unknown. A calculation is only as complete as its inputs.
