Make a list of what makes you feel most alive, and do one this week

The list is easy. The date is the whole exercise.

Ask the Alive Question at the end of each day for a week: what made me feel most alive today. Write the answers down.

By Sunday you will have a short, specific and slightly surprising list, in your own words rather than borrowed ones.

Then pick one and put a date on it before the week turns over. That is the entire method.
