Ask

Every once in awhile, ask yourself the following questions:

Who am I?
What am I?
What am I doing?
Where am I going?
and...Who says so?

Try to answer them in the moment, with the first thing that comes to mind. It's an interesting practice. Maybe ask yourself every year at your birthday. Write it down. See how your answer to these questions change over the course of time. They might change every day. Indeed, every hour, perhaps.

On some days, these questions ground me and help me re-focus. On others, they throw me into existential crisis mode, and I can barely breathe.
