Clearly describe two or three stories you have about life. That is, what are two paradigms that you have constructed about life and how it should be? Kindly describe their rules in detail.

In addition, please describe what are the positive and negative consequences of having these rules, if any? This is very important. Often we don't realize that certain behaviors or attitudes we have, carry with them, either intended or unintended consequences or results.

Also include in your analysis how these rules impact others' interactions with you. That is what do you feel are others reactions to you based upon you holding these rules? This is really saying that we don't exist in isolation and that our personal choices impact others.

Finally, please describe what a potential alternative to your story would be and what would happen if you adopted this "other" storyline and its resulting consequences?
