Type 3: The Performer
 See awareness practice guidelines
Image
How has “looking good” or creating an image been present since I last stopped to self-reflect? In what ways have I been adjusting to others? Selling myself? Wanting recognition? (These can be quite subtle. Often Threes don’t think about image, they “perform” unconsciously.)
Basis: Threes rely on positive feedback and a good image to feel good about themselves.
Focus on task
How much has my focus been on getting things done or accomplishing my goals? In what ways have I kept active and busy? How have I concentrated on the fastest way to completing tasks?
Basis: For Threes the focus of attention is on what they need to accomplish since they believe that success is the basis for love and approval.
Feelings
What feelings have I had? What happened when a feeling came up? Did my attention go to feelings? What am I feeling now? What attention did I give to others’ feelings?
Basis: Threes need to suspend or push aside feelings as they might get in the way of efficiency, accomplishment and success.
