    Free download: Inspiration questionnaire for personal storytelling

    Personal Storytelling: Unlock your Memory and Find the Stories that Connect. Personal storytelling is one of the most powerful tools for understanding who we are, communicating authentically and transforming memories into stories that connect. Through storytelling we make sense of what we have experienced, discover patterns, recognize emotions and find a thread that links our past to our present. However, many people want to tell their story and do not know where to start. There is a lack of clarity, it is difficult to go deeper or it is difficult to identify memories with narrative potential. To accompany you in this process, at Domestika we have created a free download: a questionnaire designed to unlock your memory, awaken your creativity and help you find the stories that live inside you. This article guides you through its contents and shows you how to use it to start or strengthen your storytelling practice. Why it is important to work on your personal storytelling. Storytelling doesn't just belong to writing: it's used to present ideas, communicate projects, connect with others and build identity. Knowing how to tell who you are - and why - is valuable in a literary text, an interview, a portfolio or a personal conversation. Self-knowledge is the basis of storytelling. Our experiences, contradictions, emotions and memories are narrative raw material. Storytelling transforms common experiences into universal stories capable of resonating with other people. What's included in the free download The resource brings together questions designed to trigger your memory and emotions: - Deep, intimate and creative questions to explore your biography. - Indicators to detect key moments, learnings and conflicts. - Guides to connect with sensory memories, important links or decisions that marked your life. - Spaces to transform answers into stories or narrative fragments.
