The key moment when awareness becomes action.
Introducing The Cliff Edge Activity
The Cliff Edge Activity brings together everything you’ve explored so far about your patterns. It represents that key moment of awareness, when you stop going over your Cliff Edges, save yourself from another bruising landing, and begin moving toward your Over There Place: where, in retirement, you are who you want to be, doing what you want to be doing, and living the life you want to be living.
”Before starting, take a moment to reflect on Anne’s completed example. Notice how she identified her patterns and the small, practical steps that helped her move from her Cliff Edge behaviours to her Over There ones. Then, complete your own version.”

The Cliff Edge Activity
To Get the Most Out of the Activity
Complete it more than once, leaving time in between — awareness develops gradually.
Revisit your Meaning Map to remind yourself which areas of life are most influenced by your patterns.
Do the activity alone first, then, if possible, share it with someone you trust — such as a partner, friend, coach, or therapist.
Remember that you cannot afford to keep repeating unhelpful patterns or neglect helpful ones.
Appreciate your findings, whatever they are. At this stage, it’s not about how often you go over your Cliff Edges, only that you notice when you do. Becoming aware of your Cliff Edges is the first step in changing direction and building the patterns that support your best life in retirement.
