Katie Byron One Belief
Katie Byron One Belief
On the line below, write down a stressful concept about someone (alive or dead) whom you haven't forgiven 100 percent.
(For example, He doesnt care about me.) Then question the concept in writing, using the following questions and
turnarounds. (Use additional paper as needed.) When answering the questions, close your eyes, be still, and witness what
appears to you. Inquiry stops working the moment you stop answering the questions.

Possible turnarounds:
1. To the self. (I hurt me.)
2. To the other. (I hurt him.)
3. To the opposite.
a) (He didnt hurt me.)
b) (He helped me.)
Then find at least three specific,
genuine examples of how
each turnaround is true for
you in this situation.
(For each turnaround, go back
and start with the original
statement. Do not turn around a
statement that has already been
turned around. For example, He
shouldnt waste his time may be
turned around to I shouldnt
waste my time, I shouldnt
waste his time, and He should
waste his time. Note that I
should waste my time and I
should waste his time are not
valid turnarounds; they are
turnarounds of turnarounds
rather than turnarounds of the
original statement.)
