Listed below are a series of questions for you to go through. Take some time to write down the answers to these questions. Grab a pen and paper and go to a quiet place. Go through each of the questions in turn and just write out exactly what comes to mind.
Try to write as much as possible for each of these questions, because writing can actually help you to tap into your subconscious thoughts which you may not even be aware of.
