Imagine your life as a tree. 🌳🙏✨
The roots represent your values, beliefs, and
foundational experiences — the parts of you that are unseen but essential for strength and stability.
The trunk is your daily routine and structure, supporting your growth.
The branches are your relationships, passions, and goals, reaching outward
and upward.
The leaves represent your achievements, lessons, and the ways you give back
to the world.

What do your roots look like? Are they deep and nourished, or are they in
need of strengthening?
What parts of your ‘tree’ need pruning, and where is new growth trying to emerge?
