Miracle Question with Choice — Review journal
Review an attempt at miracle question with choice and choose what to keep, change, or leave aside.
10 minutes · Journal prompts · Adults; supported use as appropriate
Fictional example: Devin prefers imagining a ten-percent easier morning to a complete miracle.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. An imagined change is optional and can be replaced with a small-change question.
Before looking back
Choose one ordinary attempt or decide to review the fictional example instead. This journal has no scores, required disclosure, or expectation of progress.
Revisit the practice
Choose either an imagined overnight improvement or a slightly better tomorrow, then describe visible signs rather than perfection.
Notice context and impact
Record what actually happened, including an unhelpful or neutral outcome. Note resources, power differences, accessibility, and changed conditions rather than attributing everything to personal effort.
Choose a revision
What version of the question fits your worldview? Keep the approach, change one part, ask for support, or set it aside. A mismatch is useful information.
