Or, maybe you were raised to believe a thing about love or work or money or gender roles that are soooooooo not useful for you now.
Make a list of things (of all the things if you like), then pick the one that is calling to you the loudest and go with that (be sure to save the rest of your list to your main ideas file for another time). Write about how this idea was presented to you, why it’s wrong for you now, and (especially) write about what is true for you instead. Let’s get into it.
