Gentle
Grounding, sensory prompts to ease into reflection
💭 Reflect
What from your daily life looks different now that you've been away?
🫀 Body
Close your eyes. Recall the sound of waves, the warmth of sun, the blue of water. How long can you stay there in your mind?
Set a timer. Try for 5 minutes.
🫀 Body
Touch your anchor object—the shell, the stone, whatever you brought back. Close your eyes. Can you still feel the sand between your toes, the salt on your skin, the sun on your face?
Hold your object from the trip
🫀 Body
Find water near your home—a lake, a river, even a bath. Immerse yourself. Let the water remind your body that you are 60% ocean. The sea is not just there. It's here, inside you.
Get into water today

💭 Reflect
The ocean you swam in is still moving—currents circling the globe, water that touched you now touching distant shores. You're connected to that water forever. How does distance change connection?
Deep
Challenging questions for those ready to go further
∞ Meaning
What question are you still sitting with? Let it remain unanswered. That's okay.
📖 Story
If you were to write one sentence about what this journey meant, what would it be? Take your time.
∞ Meaning
The Maldives will change—climate, development, time. What you experienced is already becoming the past. How do you hold something that's always becoming memory?
Your Reflections
These prompts are for you alone. Write in a journal, speak them aloud, or simply let them move through you. There is no right way to reflect.
