Inside the Starter Pack

  1. A two-minute check: the CRAFT Scorecard.
  2. The method in five qualities.
  3. No hour to move? The substitution rule.
  4. The tool for today: the Clarity Matrix, with Elena’s result.

  6. The first page of the book, and what the book covers.

The two-minute check

Read each question, then rate how true it feels for you right now — from 1 (not true at all) to 10 (completely true). Be honest rather than kind; the low scores are the ones that show you where to aim.

Not the Epilogue · The CRAFT Toolkit
  1. C — ClarityI know what I truly want, and what no longer fits me.
  2. R — RestI have routines that help me settle and recover my calm.
  3. A — AwarenessI notice what stresses me — and can respond deliberately rather than react.
  4. F — FocusI work with concentration and prioritize consistently.
  5. T — TransformationI actually put changes into practice, and I stay with them.

Score all five to see your lowest.

The real signal is your lowest-scoring pillar — that’s usually where a small, deliberate step will give you the most back.
