The mimetic desire audit

A Targeted Inquiry for discerning which of your goals and desires truly resonate with you, and which came from external sources like parents, culture, etc, and are not leading you in the direction of a flourishing life.

This exercise is pretty involved compared to other inquiries in The Forest. So I'd recommend setting aside about an hour to go through it.

Step 1: Brainstorm Goals & Desires

Ideally, you'd do The desire audit prior to this, but you can also do a quick version.

Set a timer for 10 minutes, and do some Freewriting or Freespeaking on these prompts. Get as many ideas out as possible.
