We have worked our way through Roberta Allen’s entire The Playful Way to Knowing Yourself and it’s time for our final review! You know the drill by now…
- In the last 15 exercises, did any of your answers surprise you? Why?
2. Is there any exercise that felt more charged than others? If you’d like, carry on with that post and share your additions with us.
3. Were there any exercises that felt incomplete to you? If so, complete them now. Stop when your energy is spent. Then please share them with us.
4. What insights about yourself (if any) came to light in these last 15 exercises?
_____________________________________________________________
You have come to the end of the book, but you haven’t come to the end of this process. Now is the time to consider how to use what you’ve learned about yourself. Answer the following questions.
- Who might benefit from what you have discovered?
2. What actions might you take now that you wouldn’t have taken before?
3. What can you now accept about yourself?
4. What else would you like to know about yourself?
5. Now that you’ve tapped into your energy, can you think of ways to tap into it more often? Are there thoughts, such as “it’s not serious,” or images from this book or your imagination, that you can focus your attention on, to help you feel more alive?

Just because you’ve done the exercises once doesn’t mean you can’t go back and start all over again. The same exercises will elicit different responses at different times — all of which may be true. Your responses may change with your moods, with the weather, with the seasons, with time. As the Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said, “You can’t step in the same river twice.”
Now just to let you know, we’ll be starting a new book in September. There will be a couple fill-in prompts in the meantime. So don’t get comfy because our inner work is NOT done!
In the meantime, thanks to everyone who has been a part of this challenge. Sharing this adventure with you has been so enriching…

Well, I can’t join in this particular review excercise just yet, but i will be revisiting past excercises and picking up with the past prompts again somehow along the way. 9I know I’m not obliged to 🙂 I would like to though 🙂 Somewhere I have a legacy post to be finishing and it probably won’t be today (before sleeping that is, it is now Saturday already here but now it’s so late at night it will be tomorrow). I’m really chuffed you’re continuing the Sandbox and a new book to work through sounds intriguing. So I hope to join you again soon. Cheers 🙂

Is the new book a sequel, Calen? Would it be best to undertake the first fully before embarking on the second? Or could I do the second followed by the first? That way, I could keep up with you all this time 🙂

Howdy thar, pardnerette! The books are totally unrelated. The questions are just explorations of our inner world where we boldly go where we’ve never gone before! (Lord! I always wanted to be a Star Ship Captain. I even have the schematics of the Enterprise, believe it or not!) Just jump in anytime. It won’t matter if you miss something. That’s why I like doing it this way. 😀

Cool Cap’n, I’ll hop in at the start of the next one and put sandbox on hold for a bit.
You have your own schematic – going to build a starship?!!

Yes, I actually DO have the schematic for the original Enterprise. 😀 When that series came on TV, I KNEW what I wanted to do or the rest of my life! 😀 So I got them. Yeah, I know it was just a show. But I’ve always dreamed of outer space. Oh, and it’s still going to be called The Sandbox Writing Challenge. It’s just a new book. I’ll tell about it though. This is just supposed to be easy. No rules. If you miss one, no biggie. 🙂 Will be so glad to have you “aboard!” Please tell me you don’t want to have a RED uniform, because those are the guys that always get knocked off in the series! 😀
