2. How well does your current home and daily environment support the way you need to live?

Replenishing experiences are built into most of my weeks
Draining activities dominate, with almost no replenishing time
The balance is uneven, but I regularly make room for something restorative
There are occasional restorative moments, though they are easily crowded out
5. You are offered an appealing opportunity that conflicts with a personal value. What are you most likely to do?
Pause to clarify the trade-off, then choose in line with the value where possible
Take it because immediate advantages usually outweigh abstract values for me
Try to modify the opportunity so the conflict is smaller
Feel uneasy about the conflict but probably accept without examining it closely

9. How satisfied are you with the overall mix of responsibilities, rest, relationships, and personal time in your life?
The mix feels seriously out of balance for what I currently need
It works in some respects, but one area repeatedly crowds out the others
The mix generally fits, despite periodic strain or compromise
The different parts support one another in a balance that feels right for me

11. A recurring part of your schedule no longer works well for you. What usually happens next?
I identify what can change and take practical steps to improve the fit
I make a small adjustment, but the main mismatch usually continues
