32 questions that might change your life

I love ClearerThinking.org as a resource for thought-provoking and science-backed exercises. I am about to head off on a mini-break and I intend to reflect on some questions from the site that apparently: "might change my life". Here are a few if you want to play along at home:

• What in life gets you excited?

• What would you say is the greatest accomplishment of your life so far?

• What was the most significant turning point in your life, and how did that experience change you?

• What's one of the best days you've had in your entire life?

• In your opinion, what is the purpose or meaning of life?

• What has kept you hopeful in life's most challenging moments?

• Imagine receiving a message from a version of yourself five years later. What warnings would these give you, and what advice would they offer about how best to achieve your goals?

• What valuable things have you learned, or what practical takeaways have you gotten from answering these questions?

My partner and I have recently created a nightly ritual using this diary. It prompts you to write down a brief thought or idea on the same day over five years, allowing you to rediscover forgotten highlights from years past as you write about the present. I'm finding it an easy ritual that helps me focus on the main highlight of each day.
