Imagine that you have half a day just for yourself. What will you do with that time first?

Select an answer:

I will start doing something creative that I have put off for a long time. I will call someone I haven't heard from in a long time. I'll sit down and just do nothing for a while. I will start planning how to use that time as efficiently as possible. I don't know, I just wander around for a while until I decide.

If you had to compare your days to a painting, what would it be?

An orchestra in which each instrument plays its part. A canvas full of spontaneous colors. Hourglass. Map with arrows and notes. Silent lake under a cloudy sky.

How do you feel when your child disagrees with your decision?

Select an answer:

Surprised, but curiously I ask what he thinks. Slightly irritated, but I'm trying to stay calm. I feel like explaining it again and again. It freezes inside me and I think about what I did wrong. I am glad that he/she expresses his/her own opinion.

When you think of yourself before you had children, what do you feel?

Select an answer:

Inspiration, as if it were another person that I can rediscover. Sorrow for what is no longer. Pride, how much I have grown since then. The guilt that I have distanced myself. Nostalgic warmth, but nothing dramatic.

Imagine your child saying, "I want to be like you when I grow up." What comes to your mind first?

Select an answer:

I must be a better role model than I am now. That's nice, but let him be himself above all. It scares me a bit, I don't feel up to it. I am touched and proud. I will start to think about what exactly they mean by that.

What space does your "self" have in everyday life?

Select an answer:

Which word best describes your everyday decision-making?

Select an answer:

Responsibility. Intuition. Strategy. Doubts. Service.

Quiet and deep like the roots of a tree. It is not constant, but when it comes, it is strong. Logical and systematic. Creative, changing like the wind. Dependent on how others treat me.

When the child is playing and you have a free moment, what do you do?

Select an answer:

I am looking at it and thinking. I will quickly dive into my duties while there is time. I will open something that personally interests me. I think I should do something "useful." I will either fall asleep or completely shut down.

What does the word "I" mean to you?

Select an answer:

Something that is constantly evolving. Something that occasionally gets lost in others. Clear compass. Sometimes a secret that I do not yet know. A foundation that needs to be cared for like a child.
