The most important exercise in this entire course
You're about to ask yourself a question that has the power to surface insights you didn't know you had.
Right now, your subconscious mind likely holds insights about what you want that your conscious mind hasn't fully acknowledged.
These buried desires, dreams, and intentions may be already influencing your choices—but they're doing it from beneath conscious awareness.
When we don't excavate what's actually driving us, we can end up feeling reactive, confused, or unfulfilled without understanding why.
In those first 2 minutes, your mind will bypass its usual filters and defenses. Ideas that have been buried for years will surface.
The next 2 minutes let you refine and prioritize what emerged—turning raw subconscious material into clear direction.
Time pressure prevents overthinking and perfectionism—your first instincts are often your truest.
Stream of consciousness bypasses the mental critic that normally censors "unrealistic" or "inappropriate" dreams.
