Observe without deciding.
This step offers perspectives, not answers.
You are not expected to act after this.
1) Pattern
Does this situation resemble something you have experienced before?
Not in detail, but in structure.
Example: “This feels similar to past situations where I wanted certainty before moving.”
2) Constraint
What limitations are already present, regardless of your decision?
Time, resources, other people, or external systems.
Example: “This is constrained by another person’s timeline.”
3) Perspective shift
How might this look if you were not personally involved?
What would remain the same?
Example: “From outside, this appears less urgent than it feels.”
You may stop here.
Observing does not require deciding.
