INTRODUCTION
9
- 365 S E L F - D I S COV E RY Q U E S T I O N S
Self-discovery is one of the greatest pathways to building
confidence in our lives, but it seems like we are too busy
these days to stop and check in with ourselves. We are
overwhelmed with demanding work commitments, kids’
sport schedules, 24-hour news coverage, the time suck of
video games, friends’ parties to go to, the latest bingeworthy Netflix show, not to mention the family gatherings
and house projects. For most of us, we wake up checking
our phone, move through the day, and fall asleep scrolling
through social media’s endless feeds. These are activities
that crowd out our time that allow us to bounce from one
distraction to another, and it’s killing us. Like a cat with a
laser pointer, we chase after the next shiny object that will
busy our time. We’ve lost the art of reflection, gratitude,
and awareness.
Let’s do a quick exercise to help you reflect, be grateful,
and become even more self-aware. First, I want you to take
a deep breath and then close your eyes so you can pay
attention to what’s around you. (Ok, you can peek to read
ahead first). Now, bring what you hear to the front of your
mind. Is it leaves rustling, music playing, or the not-sofaint noises of children playing in the house? Open your
eyes and take a couple of deep breaths. Look around you.
What do you see? Is there something that catches your
eye that you are grateful for? Now, think about your last
interaction with another person. Was it something you
are proud of where you both listened and engaged with
10
- 365 S E L F - D I S COV E RY Q U E S T I O N S
mutual respect? Or were there hurt feelings and emotional
disconnection? There... that was easy. That took maybe a
few minutes or less, but you centered yourself, quieted
your mind and moved closer to being proactive in
your life, rather than reactive.
The journey of becoming
self-aware is the process of self-discovery
and that starts by asking great questions
of yourself.
Self-aware people carry themselves with confidence
because they’ve taken the time to explore who they are
and how they want to be known (that is, self-discovery).
These people have done the hard work of asking themselves
tough questions. They have courageously confronted the
lies that they have told themselves like, “I’m not good
enough,” or “Why try if I’m going to fail?” or “I’m just not
smart enough.” They’ve overcome the inevitable childhood
baggage and the fears that hold them back. Because of
their hard work, these brave souls make a tremendous
impact in the lives of those around them.
Insecure and hurting people, on the other hand, often react
to life’s peaks and valleys as each moment comes, rarely
11
- 365 S E L F - D I S COV E RY Q U E S T I O N S
stopping to think about how they show up in life. They run
from introspection and avoid dealing with interpersonal
conflict for fear that their emotional shallowness could be
revealed. Their life is marked by selfishness and emotional
laziness because they are too afraid to turn on the lights
and expose the fears that have held them back for so long.
Sorry (not sorry) if that sounds harsh, but at the core, it’s
true.
HERE’S HOW SELF-DISCOVERY
BEGAN IN OUR LIFE
Early in our marriage, we got into a huge fight about
being on time versus being late. We were both angry, hurt,
and filled with pride, which meant days of giving each
other the silent treatment. Who would break the silence
first? Who would apologize first? We finally agreed that
we needed to see a counselor since we couldn’t even be
in the same room without wanting to say hateful and
hurtful comments. We sat down on our new counselor’s
couch feeling nervous and a little excited because both of
us were hoping that the neutral party sitting across from
us would call the other one out. But what she said rocked
our worlds. “So Meygan, can you explain to Casey why
being on time is so important to you, where that energy
12
- 365 S E L F - D I S COV E RY Q U E S T I O N S
comes from, and how it makes you feel when he’s late?
And Casey, after Meygan shares, I will be asking you the
same question, but I want to know how it makes you feel
when she gets upset with you for being late.”
Her questions made us both stop and really think about
why we cared so much about this fight about being on
time versus late. Here were our responses...
Meygan: Growing up, my parents were always on time, which
is a sign of respect when someone is counting on you. Trust
is one of my core values and how do I trust someone who
I can’t rely on?
Casey: My home life was chaos. As an only child raised by a
working single mom, I was often in day care. There were times
I was the last one to be picked up or dropped off late and I
had to get over it. Things happen and I think you should
make your best effort to try and be on time, but there are
bigger problems in the world to worry about.
As we processed where our value systems came from, we
noticed that Meygan’s frustration came from one of her
core values being challenged. For Meygan, something as
simple as Casey being late caused her to feel like he didn’t
respect her and that she couldn’t rely on him, breaking the
trust they had built. And for Casey, he felt frustrated
because it was unfair that Meygan’s negative reaction to a
13
- 365 S E L F - D I S COV E RY Q U E S T I O N S
5-10 minute delay could and often did spoil the time they
had together. His value of spending time together and
building connection, stemming from abandonment
wounds, was more important than promptness. In this
one instance, we discovered that rarely is one of us
right and the other one wrong, we’re just different
people with differing views that both stem from our
childhood and life experiences.
Our counselor helped us start the journey of selfdiscovery by asking us great questions: what we felt,
why we felt it, where those feelings came from, and
how we responded to life when things didn’t go our way.
It’s this journey that we are still on and now invite
you into. This book will help move you away from your
insecurities into a place of confidence because of
your willingness to become self-aware. We want you
to dig deep--what you put in is what you get out.
We’ve marked the journey for you with questions, but
it’s up to you to find time to take the journey.
It’s funny because we still occasionally argue about
being on time and being late, but at least we know why
it’s an issue. Our goal is that you would recognize that
you have room for improvement because individuals
who practice self-discovery are more aware, and selfaware people tend to be healthier friends, co-workers,
parents, spouses, and siblings.

WHAT IS SELF-DISCOVERY AND
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Personal development has been a growing trend for many
years. More and more people are actively looking for ways
to improve their lives by having a better understanding of
who they are. Many people listen to podcasts, read books,
take online personality assessments, attend retreats, or go
to therapy so that they can become the best version of
themselves.
The self-discovery journey will help you uncover your
passions and guide you to identify your motivations and
drive. A life void of your passions and strengths is a life
without fun, joy, and fulfillment. You will get to dream
about what you want your future to be like and turn your
desires into real-life stories.
A huge part of personal growth is self-discovery and we
believe that it’s a lifelong journey of exploring your
thoughts, feelings, dreams, concerns, trauma, past
experiences, responses, and personality. It’s getting you
to know yourself better, on a more intimate level. We
are always changing and evolving which means that we
need to be constant learners of ourselves, requiring us to
be more aware.
15
- 365 S E L F - D I S COV E RY Q U E S T I O N S
Becoming more self-aware will also help you discover what
you need and desire in relationships with your friends and
family. With these questions, you will learn which people
bring out the best in you and which bring out the worst.
You will begin to recognize which behaviors make you feel
insecure and which make you feel empowered. You will
discover how to evaluate your expectations of others and
what you want your relationships to look like moving
forward. Practicing self-discovery will help you feel more
confident with and around the people you come across
every day.
Self-discovery gives you a chance to heal from past traumas
and experiences that you’ve been holding onto. Life dishes
up many hardships like illness, death, abandonment, and
heartbreak. Every one of those hurts becomes personal.
While shining light on your past can be very emotionally
draining, it also starts the process of forgiveness and
healing, which you both need and deserve.
WHY DO SO MANY STRUGGLE
WITH SELF-DISCOVERY?
The biggeset hurdle is time. We move at such a pace where
our schedules are filled to the brim, leaving no room for
self-care. Many people move through the motions of
16
- 365 S E L F - D I S COV E RY Q U E S T I O N S
everyday life without ever stopping to check in with
themselves to see what’s working or how they’re feeling.
Another common thing that gets in the way of selfdiscovery is fear. Fear of the unknown and fear of realizing
that you’re in a toxic relationship. There’s fear of having to
change unhealthy behaviors and fear of going back to
painful memories. There’s fear of disappointment and fear
of failure. There’s fear of exposing your actions and choices
from the past and there’s fear of shedding light on your
thoughts that you feel shame around.
And lastly, oftentimes people have a desire to become
more aware but don’t have the tools, resources, or support
that they need. This is exactly why we wrote this book
and are so glad you picked up a copy. You’re putting aside
your fears, taking the time, and now have a practical tool
to help guide you on this journey of self-discovery.
OUR TOP TIPS FOR MAKING THE
MOST OF THIS BOOK
Tip #1
There are no right or wrong answers. With 7 billion people
in this world, we’re all uniquely made with different
upbringings and personalities and there’s no shame in
17
- 365 S E L F - D I S COV E RY Q U E S T I O N S
that. Your answers reveal how you feel and what you think
in a given moment. You may ask yourself the same questions
years later and answer differently. Self-discovery isn’t
effective when you worry about how your response sounds
compared to others. We’re all on our own journey of
trying to learn more about who we are, why we do what
we do, and why we think the way we do.
Tip #2
Stay away from minimizing or avoiding pain. A common
survival technique is to stuff away any memory that was
painful (or shameful) by placing it in a box that we seal up
and put away in our attic never to be looked at again. The
problem with this is that the feelings attached to that
memory will eventually bleed out, usually at an unexpected
time and often in an unhealthy way. Stay away from
thinking things like, “It wasn’t that bad compared to others,”
or “I don’t want to bring it up or I’ll open the flood gates.”
Part of self-discovery is leaning into painful experiences to
learn more about how you handled it and how it changed
your view of yourself and others.
Tip #3
Get curious. The people who “master” self-discovery are
those who aren’t afraid to get curious as to why they think,
feel, and do what they do. Getting curious shows that you
desire to know yourself on a deeper level and that you
18
- 365 S E L F - D I S COV E RY Q U E S T I O N S
want to be an emotionally aware and healthy person.
Getting out of your comfort zone can be draining and
overwhelming at times, but remember to keep making your
emotional and mental health a priority.
Tip #4
Don’t be your worst critic. It’s easy to become the
harshest judge of your life choices, taking away from your
opportunity to grow emotionally. Have you made mistakes?
Of course you have! Because we’re all imperfect, messy
people who struggle with insecurities, pride, and
selfishness. Making yourself feel bad for a choice you’ve
made will only hold you back from moving forward. So,
if at any point you notice that you’re criticizing yourself
and your answers, say any of these statements to yourself:
“Attempting to do this took courage and I’m proud
of myself for trying.”
“I am capable and strong and I will get through this.”
“I can learn from this situation and grow as a person.”
“This was an opportunity for me to learn more about myself
so I can change my future.”
19
- 365 S E L F - D I S COV E RY Q U E S T I O N S
Tip #5
Take your time and put away distractions. Opening this
book up minutes before you have a big work meeting or
when your kids are tired and hungry is probably not the
best idea. This book is not about finishing in record time
or rushing through each question as if checking off your
weekend to-do list. Self-discovery requires time, patience,
and an open mind to really think, process, and meditate
on your experiences.
Tip #6
Use the ‘Feelings Words List’ often. The questions in this
book are going to ask about how you feel and we encourage
you to expand your emotional vocabulary by using our
handy and convenient Feelings Words List on page 195.
It might be easy at times to answer certain questions
without really getting into it. Don’t be afraid to dive into
the feelings that come up as you share your answers. And
if you don’t know how you feel about a topic or question,
don’t be afraid to explore that either (more on this later).
Tip #7
Have fun! Life is hard enough and self-discovery should also
be fun and bring joy and laughter to your life. Consider
the time you’re spending on yourself as a gift. Each time
you open up this book and answer a question, smile
knowing that you are becoming a smarter, more confident,
happier person.
20
- 365 S E L F - D I S COV E RY Q U E S T I O N S
I HAVE NO ANSWER TO THE
QUESTION. NOW WHAT?
Here you are, taking time to explore and strengthen
your emotional health. You read a question and nothing
comes to mind. So you take a deep breath hoping that
something will come up, but nothing. It’s okay to not
recall past memories or specific feelings about a certain
topic. Our advice is to skip the question and go to the
next one. Mark each question you skip so that you can
come back to it on a different day when you have more
time, have processed the question on your own, or are
in a different headspace.
Be aware that if you have a lot going on personally
or professionally, whatever you are going through may be
the reason you feel emotionally or mentally stuck. Even
the idea of engaging in conversations around selfdiscovery can be overwhelming and cause stress. If that’s
what you’re feeling, we recommend setting aside time to
rest and reset. Designating time for self-care each day will
help you make the most of your self-discovery journey.
A walk or run, a kid-free cup of coffee, a long shower or
a few chapters of that book you picked up months ago-a little bit can go a long way. Remember, this is a journey,
not a race, and we hope you’re in it for the long haul.
21
- 365 S E L F - D I S COV E RY Q U E S T I O N S
There are questions that get very specific about sexuality,
politics, religion, racism, and other hot topics. If these
questions feel big to you or this is the first time you’re
approaching the subject, that’s ok. Start with where you’re
at, answer as best as you can, and consider circling back
when you’ve had more time to process the question or
topic. We encourage this! When done in the spirit of
learning and understanding, these potentially sticky
conversations can lead to incredible personal growth.
Bonus tip: Not everyone feels inspired by sitting down,
reading a question, and then writing down their response.
While there are dozens of ways to process and answer
these questions, consider thinking and walking. Think of
it like active meditation centered around a reflective
question. Many people we’ve worked with have found
success taking a walk in nature and repeating the question
a few times out loud as they process. You could do this
alone or with a friend, family member, confidant, etc.
Many of the questions you’ll find in this book address
topics you may have never asked yourself. Going there
may bring up new emotions that will make you feel
uncomfortable. These emotional triggers are revealing
aspects in your life that are unresolved or frustrating to
you. Some may be traumatic and even confusing, but the
good news is that you’re doing the healthy thing by
drawing them out so you can start to process and heal.
If you experience a trigger when answering one of the
questions, here are some suggestions:
•
•
•
FEELING TRIGGERED?
A trigger is an emotional wound that reminds you of
something you believed to be unfair or unjust in your life.
For example, if your parents neglected your emotional
needs, this can cause you to feel triggered because you
feel that was unfair for them to treat you that way.
22
- 365 S E L F - D I S COV E RY Q U E S T I O N S
•
Take deep breaths. Slow and controlled breathing
forces oxygen to the brain and helps calm nerves.
Get active by taking a walk, going to the gym or for a
swim and get your heart pumping. Our bodies produce
endorphins when we move, which can elevate your
state of being.
Start journaling. Don’t limit yourself to what you
should or should not be writing. Journaling is a
proactive way to deal with anxiety and triggers and
can help you get what you’re feeling and thinking out
of your mind and onto paper. When you are writing,
don’t edit or worry about grammar, just be as honest
as possible about what you’re experiencing.
Call a safe friend, mentor, pastor, or your counselor.
Oftentimes we need to verbally process what we’re
going through when we feel emotionally triggered.
Allowing someone who cares about you into that space
23
- 365 S E L F - D I S COV E RY Q U E S T I O N S
•
is extremely therapeutic.
If you feel rushed or are around people, it’s ok to
give yourself an adult time-out and go back to the
triggering question at a later time when you have more
space and capacity to dive in.

ABOUT
M A R R I A G E 365
We have a dream that one day happy connected couples
will be the norm. Until that day comes, we will continue
to work hard to build healthy relationships and bring hope
to those who desire to live life to the fullest. That is what
gets us up every morning!
That’s a lot coming from us, named the couple least likely
to succeed in marriage, with a 1.3% chance of making it.
By year three of our marriage, we hated each other.
Walking our marriage back from the brink of divorce was
the most courageous act we have taken. It all started
when we stopped waiting for each other to change and
instead began the process of self-discovery. We tell every
couple that if you want a better relationship, it starts by
making a better you.
Our restored marriage was the inspiration to help other
couples that were feeling stuck, lost, and confused about
what to do next. Today, Marriage365 reaches millions of
couples around the world, providing practical advice,
resources, and inspiration. You can find all of our resources
by visiting www.marriage365.com.
