Score the last seven days

For each statement, give yourself 0 = Rarely, 1 = Sometimes, or 2 = Consistently. Add your eight answers for a total from 0 to 16.

1. I can name the pattern that is keeping me stuck.
2. I know the one change that matters most to me right now.
3. I take a small action before I feel completely ready.
4. I keep the commitments I make to myself.
5. I remove distractions that make my next step harder.
6. I set boundaries that protect time for what matters.
7. I have the honest conversations I have been avoiding.
8. I notice evidence of progress and choose the next step.

What your score suggests

• 0–5 · Drifting: Start by naming one pattern and taking one small action.
• 6–11 · Waking Up: You see the pattern. Make one useful action repeatable.
• 12–16 · Shifting: Keep the proof you have built and raise one standard you can maintain.

This is a reflection tool, not a diagnosis or a validated psychological assessment. A lower score is a starting point, not a judgment.
