Personal Experiment on New Narratives

Tips to conduct a personal experiment

Write a perfect day

 Everything can be validated and experienced in interactions and in the now. Helpful in getting rid of abstractions is to think about your perfect day, relating to the topic on which you explore the narrative.

Describe your day in a context where you work and live, where the preferred presuppositions has become a reality. You may also indicate how obstacles to the preferred life have been adressed. Please describe from the first-person perspective.

Design a personal experiment

Think of an experiment in your personal life or team based on the insights from reflection about what presuppositions to change.

Create a minimal viable experience for yourself to validate the functioning of other presuppositions

  • Which presupposition shift are you going to test?
  • What is your hypothesis?
  • What does the experiment look like?

Write a reflection on the experiment

  • What happened?
  • How does it feel in your body? (gut, heart, head)?
  • What consequences do you observe in your life and interactions?
  • Based on the insights: what would you like to keep? What would you like to let go off in your life?
