Page 1 — introduction (text without decoration):
“Here you can be yourself.
And that will be enough.”
(Centering or left alignment — at the designer's discretion).
Page 2 — usage principle (bullet list):
•you can do anything here
•you can write unevenly
•you can skip pages
•you can return
Last line (separately, with space):
Write as it is.
This is your space for clarity.
BLOCK 2. State fixation (12 pages)
One page = one state
Heading at the top:

Next — 4 prompt lines (not bold, light):
•thinking about …
•worried about …
•wanting to, but not daring to …
Below — 7–9 empty lines.
My support to myself regarding my feelings.
Below — 2-4 empty lines.
❗ NO scales, numbers, emojis.
BLOCK 3. Clarity and focus (18–20 pages)
Each question — a separate page.
Headings (same style):

⸻
BLOCK 5. Free space (20–25 pages)
Identical pages.
Light heading:
Today it is important for me to talk about:

This is the key block — it is important for the designer not to “decorate” it.
