Collecting Reality Check Prompts
Hey there,
I'm making these little daily reality check lists, and could use more suggestions. I'm using the prompts to create daily lists of 4 targets each day, then rotate every day. Also, making monthly targets (4/month) that are less frequent, and a little more unusual. That way it combines building prospective memory and also critical reflective attitude.
I have a list already, but no worries, I want all of your ideas. Better to assume I haven't got that one yet :)
If you would like, you can separate your suggestions by 1) common reality checks and 2) unusual reality checks.
Then, you can further separate them into 4 distinct categories: visual, auditory, passive action, and active action (kinesthetic). Examples: Seeing something, hearing something, having something happen to you (feeling, smelling), and doing something actively or deliberately (using an item, tasting). Seeing a mushroom, hearing your name, feeling pain, using a key.
Thank you :)
EDIT: Adding IMGUR image files of the RC background images, so that everything is neat and tidy and easy to find. I wanted them condensed into one post. They are in spoilers because they are large sized - good for backgrounds. Here is everything so far:
