The Questions We Keep Avoiding
Questions that sit with you long after you close the page.
Most people don’t avoid reflection because they’re lazy.
They avoid it because some questions will rearrange your life, once you answer them honestly.
Questions like:
“What part of my life only works because I keep abandoning myself a little?”
Or:
“What am I tired of carrying because I once needed it to survive?”
Those kinds of questions don’t always give you a motivational burst. Sometimes they just leave you sitting there for a minute, staring at the wall differently.
Over the past years, journaling has helped me notice patterns I’d normally explain away, intellectualize, or bury under productivity and distraction. Why? Because it forced me to stop performing certainty for a second.
So I decided to turn a lot of those kinds of reflections into something more structured.
I made a 61-page reflective ebook called:
“The Questions You Keep Avoiding”
It contains 50 reflection prompts designed for people who:
overthink
avoid difficult emotions
keep repeating the same patterns
or simply want to understand themselves more honestly
No fake positivity.
No “become your highest self” language.
Just thoughtful questions with space to actually sit with them.
A few examples from the book:
“What truth have I made more complicated than it is?”
“What would remain if I stopped explaining myself to people committed to misunderstanding me?”
“What part of me is asking for gentleness, not another strategy?”
I priced it like a coffee because I mostly wanted to make something genuinely useful and see if people resonated with it.
You can find it here.
And honestly, even if you never buy it, I hope at least one of those questions stays with you today.
