9 个月I love how you offer exercises / prompts that can be revisited to help readers take steps beyond your thought-provoking writing! And I will be doing some of them myself! In addition to increasing internal self-awareness, I also recommend seeking feedback from others who know you really well because they may observe something you don't.
