Week 5 Check In

This week gave you a lot: tools for pursuing intimacy, ideas for expanding your comparison group, and a reality check on what it takes to change your environment and connection patterns.

But this check-in isn’t about what you completed. It’s about how things are going. What’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to shift to keep the work sustainable.

Take a few minutes to reflect honestly. There’s no grade. Just information you can use.

Check In on Fit and Friction

  • What parts of the program are feeling useful or energizing right now?

  • What parts feel like too much, too fast?

  • Is there anything you keep putting off? Is it something to return to later — or something to let go of for now?

Adjusting for Capacity

  • How’s your energy lately — physical, emotional, social?

  • Is the pace of the course still manageable, or do you need to slow down?

  • What would it look like to continue the program at a more sustainable pace?

Progress You Might Be Missing

Even small shifts matter. Look for them.

  • Are you spending less time stuck in negative body thoughts?

  • Have your comparison points started to shift, even a little?

  • Have you said yes or no to something based on what you want, instead of what you think you’re supposed to want?

Dating, Desire & Exposure

This week invited you to start thinking differently about how you connect with others, romantically, sexually, and socially. For many people, that’s a big shift. You weren’t expected to overhaul everything in seven days. This is just a check-in on where you are in the process.

  • Are you starting to get a clearer picture of what kind of connection you want to pursue?

  • Do you feel ready to start making changes to how you date, flirt, or show up on the apps? If not, what would help you get there?

  • Did you identify any online or real-world spaces you might want to explore even if you’re not ready to go yet?

  • Is there any part of this week’s content you want to put on pause, revisit later, or approach in a lower-pressure way?

Building for the Long-Term

You don’t need to do everything right now. You just need to keep building something that can last.

  • What’s one thing you’re going to adjust, skip, or slow down on?

  • What does support look like for you next week from yourself or from others?

Final Thought

This course is a resource to build from. If you’re tired, scale back. If you’re stuck, pivot. If something’s helping, keep going.

This is your plan now. Make it work for you.
