Congratulations on taking the time for yourself to reflect.
You're already doing more than most people are willing to do. This is a sign you are serious about creating more alignment in your life.
Insight is the first important step.
Review your results on an Ikigai Clarity Call and create long lasting change.
PAUSE AND REFLECT
Before moving on, take a moment to reflect on what you just noticed. You don’t need to remember exact numbers — just what stood out.
Most people either stay stuck or rush into action. You chose to pause and look first.
If it helps, you may want to jot a few notes down. Writing things out often brings extra clarity — but it’s not required.
What stands out for you right now?
Use the prompts below to make sense of what you noticed across the seven areas. There are no right or wrong answers. This is simply about clarity.
1. Areas of contrast
Looking across the seven areas, where did you notice the biggest gap between how things feel today and how you’d like them to feel in three months?
2. Load-bearing areas
Which areas feel like they’re carrying the most weight in your life right now?
(Sometimes one or two areas compensate for others.)
3. Energy and attention
When you look at your responses as a whole, where does your energy naturally want to go?
4. Anything unexpected
Did anything surprise you as you went through the assessment?
A final reminder
Misalignment doesn’t mean something is wrong.
It often means something important is asking for attention.
Small, intentional shifts — made in the right place — can change how life feels far more quickly than most people expect.
Sometimes, looking at common patterns can help you make sense of your own reflections.
See if any of these resonate — not as labels, but as prompts for curiosity.
What it can look like:
You feel optimistic about where life is heading
You have ideas, plans, or a sense of possibility
But connection, belonging, or shared meaning feels thin
A gentle reflection:
This pattern often shows up when someone is internally ready for change — but hasn’t yet found the people, spaces, or rhythm that supports it.
Curiosity invitation:
The question isn’t “What should I do?”
It’s “Who or what do I need around me as I move forward?”
What it can look like:
Your life is values-driven
You care deeply and show up for others
But choice, flexibility, or autonomy feels limited
A gentle reflection:
This pattern often appears in people who are responsible, loyal, and committed — sometimes at the expense of themselves.
Curiosity invitation:
Where might one small reclaiming of choice create relief?
What it can look like:
You’re learning, stretching, evolving
You’re doing “all the right things”
But everyday enjoyment feels scarce
A gentle reflection:
This can happen when growth becomes effortful rather than nourishing.
Curiosity invitation:
What would it look like to let pleasure back into the picture — without earning it?
What it can look like:
Strong relationships or community
Feeling needed and involved
But uncertainty about where you are heading
A gentle reflection:
Sometimes connection stabilises us — but also delays deeper questions about direction.
Curiosity invitation:
If you weren’t anchored by others’ needs, what might you listen to more closely?
What it can look like:
You feel authentic and self-aware
You know who you are
But the future feels foggy or fragile
A gentle reflection:
This often appears during transitions — when identity has shifted faster than circumstances.
Curiosity invitation:
What kind of future would honour who you already know yourself to be?
What it can look like:
Nothing stands out as “wrong”
Life looks good on paper
And yet something feels flat or muted
A gentle reflection:
This pattern often points to misalignment at a subtle level — not crisis, but quiet erosion.
Curiosity invitation:
If nothing needs fixing, what might need re-prioritising?
These patterns aren’t answers. They’re starting points.
Sometimes clarity comes from seeing your life reflected back
— not from being told what to do next.
If you’re curious to explore what your pattern might be showing you, that’s exactly what the Ikigai Clarity Call is for.
