Back to Journey

Stage 1 of 16

Three Days Before

The space between here and there

Anticipation & Inventory

Today's Intention

Begin noticing what you're carrying—not in your luggage, but in your mind and body.

"The journey begins before the plane lifts off. It begins in the quiet moment when you realize you're about to step out of your life."

Gentle

Grounding, sensory prompts to ease into reflection

💭 Reflect

What are you hoping the Maldives will give you that your current life cannot?

👁 Sense

Look around your current space. Find one object that represents your everyday life. Hold it. What does it weigh—emotionally?

Pick up the object as you reflect

💭 Reflect

Imagine the bluest blue you've ever seen—now imagine it deeper, more alive. The Maldivian lagoon awaits. What do you hope that color will unlock in you?

Reflective

Emotional and relational explorations

🫀 Body

Close your eyes. Scan your body from head to toe. Where do you feel tension? Give that place a name—not a medical name, but a feeling name.

🤝 Connect

Who will you miss while you're away? Who will you be relieved to be away from?

Deep

Challenging questions for those ready to go further

🌑 Shadow

What are you running from? Be honest. No one is reading this but you.

Meaning

If this trip could change one thing about how you live your life, what would you want that to be?

Meaning

These islands are barely above sea level—some of the most vulnerable land on Earth. What does it mean to visit a place that may not exist for future generations?

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.
