download this free visual worksheet to inspire creativity

I created the Personal Alignment Brainstorm worksheet as a visual prompt and brainstorming tool to help sharpen your creative focus, and for the purpose of goal-setting and personal accountability.

Use the worksheet/poster individually or with others to facilitate goal setting, accountability, and mental focus.

The elements of earth, fire, air and water are highlighted to symbolically represent different areas of mental focus as described on the worksheet/poster which is split into four quadrants. It’s a fun and creative way to organize your reflection and to make visual connections.

Each element or category focuses on an aspect of self with reflection prompts that draw upon the characteristic of the element itself. Feel free to think, draw, or write about your answers. For best results, review and revise your completed worksheet on a regular basis with a partner.
