WeMentor Self-Leadership Activation Exercises

After listening, do the following three WeMentor Self-Leadership Exercises:

1. Take this risk: If you are having experiences that seem connected like something your soul is trying to heal or work out, stop, and jot down repetitive experiences. A way to get started is to ask yourself out loud, “what does my soul need to heal?” Write down what you learn.

• Apply Self-Compassion: Congratulate yourself after you answer, “what does my soul need to heal?” Then keep going by repeating the question and writing down what you learn until you feel complete.

• Welcome Appreciation: Express appreciation for what you have learned, and carry on with your day. Notice what happens next.
