40 DAYS
of Transformation
(WORKBOOK)
Change doesn’t come easy. Unless you really put an effort in
creating the right mindset and letting go of what doesn’t serve
you. The following weekly questions will help you frame
the right mindset to kickstart your transformation.
You are here because you are looking for change. Change
towards living a more meaningful life, more purposeful,
healthier, happier. Change in your mindset, in your habit
patterns, in your daily life routines and in connecting with your
purpose.
To invite change into our lives, we need to first prepare
ourselves like we prepare the soil before seeding flowers. When
the soil is ready, and the temperature is right, only then can we
plant the seeds. And with watering, the seeds will sprout and
become beautiful, strong and bright flowers.
By guided reflections on the basis of the questions below, you
will be able to fertilize your soil and water your plants to grow
the strongest and most beautiful flowers of your dreams.
Weekly ‘Inner Vision Questions’
Week 1: Getting Real
1. Why did you decide to do this course? What do you want to change in your life?
2. How do you feel right now about:
a) Your life
b) Yourself
3. Are you living in line with your heart’s desire/purpose?
4. Which daily habit patterns don’t serve you right now? (Example: too much screen-
time, smoking, eating sweets, having discussions with your partner etc.)
5. What do these unhealthy habits bring you? Why do you still have them?
6. And what is the price you pay for that?
7. What stresses you out most?
8. Are you willing to let go of this? Or if that is not possible, to change the way you
relate and feel about this subject in your life?
9. What are habit patterns that you want to implement? And what will these healthy
habits bring you?
10. The mind and emotional system are features of habit that will offer ‘resistance’
to change. When making some healthy changes in your life it is for most people a
pleasant change, but for some, there might be some experience of resistance in the
sense of emotional disbalance, restlessness and frustration. Are you willing and dedi-
cated to deal with the mental and emotional resistance that comes with change?
On a scale of 1 to 5 and 5 as extremely willing & dedicated, how would you rate yourself?
Keep in mind that being honest is the only way to truly reflect on yourself to start getting rid
of your blockages.
1 2 3 4 5
11. Do you believe that there is a “best” version of yourself that you can develop in the

keep you from living your life fully?

6. If not, reflect and try to purify your intentions.

the so-called flow?
6. If so, do you feel ready to release these blockages?
7. Are you ready to let go of what does not serve you?

compassion your highest priority in life and make your life decisions as such?
Journaling Assignment
For the coming 4 weeks (or longer), take some time to keep a journal. You just need 3
to 10 minutes for each session to write some things down. This will GREATLY help you
get things more clear in your life and put your focus on what is truly important for
you. I would recommend to really take a focus-moment for this and write it with pen
and paper.
Morning Journal
Every day, right before or after breakfast, take 2
minutes to set your priorities straight for the
day ahead and get your focus right.
1. “Three things I am thankful for…”
There is great power in cultivating gratefulness.
You can re-wire your brain by, every day, writ-
ing down three new things that you’re grateful
for. Do this for the coming 6 weeks and you
will develop this wonderful virtue of gratitude
allowing your brain to work more optimistically
and more successfully.
2. “How will this day be a great day?”
Write down three things you can do today to
make this day a great day. This could be doing
something that will make you feel energized
and good, achieve certain goals, help others,
etc.
3. “What’s ONE thing I must accomplish
today?” This is an important focus to step-by-
step go into the direction of realizing your goal.
You can achieve great results if you can narrow
down your focus and make small daily achieve-
ments. This ONE thing can be: take 30 minutes
of breathwork & meditation, or; create an email
template for my breathwork classes, or; order
10 yoga mats etc…
Evening Journal
This is an opportunity to review your day and
improve what is already working. Choose a
time in the evening, every day, to answer these
six questions:
1. “What did I achieve today?”
This question will help to identify whether you
actually achieved what you intended to
accomplish in the morning, or if you got side-
tracked. It is easy to overestimate what you
think you can achieve in a day, but remind
yourself that it takes many small steps to reach
your eventual destination. Enjoy the journey
and keep your focus on your destination.
2. “How am I actually feeling right now?”
See this as an opportunity to be vulnerable,
be honest, and be open without censoring
yourself. Some might feel uplifted most of the
time, others down, that is OK. Learn to use the
‘why drill’ to go to the source of your negative
emotions: Ask yourself why you are feeling the
emotion, in question, five times. Do this with
honesty and acceptance, and without
judgment. It will help you to get a clearer
understanding of your emotional life.
3. “What are three great things that
happened today?” It’s important to remind
yourself at the end of the day of your “small
wins.” Like: “I ate healthily” “I was able to say
‘yes’ or ‘no’ to some things I normally have
trouble saying yes or no to” “I woke up early” “I
achieved my daily tasks”… These small advan-
tages build forward
momentum and remind us that you are
moving in a good direction.
4. “What am I grateful for right now?”
Again, focus on the things you can be grateful
for. But now, also learn to become thankful for
the challenges and problems you have to deal
with. Try to see problems and challenges and
issues from your past as something that can
help you grow. What is great about my
problems?
Everything you can be grateful for will become
a blessing for you and will make you grow.
5. “What lessons have I learned today?”
This is a very important question to answer
because this will help you evolve. This will help
you to keep your focus on progress and inner
growth. This can be mental processes you have
learned from like; ‘ today I managed to keep
calm and not get frustrated with my colleague’
or; ‘I managed to say no to desert’ or; ‘I learned
that I am actually self-sabotaging myself
through negative thought patterns, and limit
myself to reach my full potential. The more de-
tailed you are, here, the more you can return to
it again and again and learn from it.
6. “How could I have improved today?”
When we are not satisfied with our day, we
prefer to not pay too much attention to it and
carry on. However, there is so much to be
learned from a ‘bad day’! By asking yourself
how you could have improved that day, you’re
forcing your brain to look for other ways of
thinking and behavior and will set the foun-
dation for improvements and solutions for the
next day. So if you had a ‘not so nice’ day, how
can you do it differently to improve the next
day or next time you are in a similar situation?
Take a moment to reflect and think and look
for ONE thing you can do, either prevent it
from happening again or to help you deal with
it more effectively.
