SELF-ANALYSIS:
A STA R T I N G P O I N T
For those wondering where to
begin, Dr. Reaume o昀昀ers a practical
framework:
occupational
selfanalysis. "Really examine your daily
habits and routines," she suggests.
"What 昀椀lls you up? What depletes
you? What brings you joy?"
Then ask yourself the hard
questions:
•
•
When was the last time you
were totally in the moment?
When was the last time you
laughed really hard?
These aren't frivolous inquiries.
They're
diagnostic
tools
for
understanding whether your life is
aligned with your values and if not,
where to start making adjustments.

"Let it be okay,” Dr. Reaume shares.
“Okay to rest. Okay to not have all
the answers. Okay to stumble. Okay
to prioritize yourself. Okay to take
imperfect action and learn as you go.”
In a culture that glori昀椀es optimization
and peak performance, this simple
permission might be the most
rebellious and necessary act of all.
