THE PLAYFUL WAY TO KNOWING YOURSELF
Author: Roberta Allen

This book offers a unique approach that allows you to see yourself from angles and perspectives you would not otherwise see. All you need to do is be open-minded, curious, and willing to respond instantly and imaginatively to exercises that invite you to explore your memories and beliefs, your desires, and secrets and fears, and how you relate to others.

The process is simple, easy, and fun. At the very least, you will get surprising glimpses of yourself. At best, you will have deep insights that lead you to action or to accepting yourself just as you.

The loosening-up exercises below are intended to get you going. Read each question and quickly write whatever comes to mind.
