The Zoom Out (Reflection Tool)

When to use

When present stress feels bigger than it is.

Prompt

Here's my current stress: $situation. Walk me up the ladder: how this looks from 1 week out, 1 year, 5 years, from my deathbed, and from the perspective of someone who'd love to have my problems. Then walk back down and tell me the one thing that still matters at every altitude — that's what deserves my energy.
