MARK YOUR STEPS

You’ve studied the method. Now let’s lock it in.

​

Before moving on, take a moment to test your understanding.

 

The CLEAR Method is more than a mental exercise.

It’s a tool for real clarity in real situations, when emotion runs high, when the story in your head feels overwhelming, when the Fog rolls in fast.

 

By learning to walk through these steps, Claim, Lie, Evidence, Alternative, Reason, you give yourself a way out of distortion and into strength.

 

This short review will help you check your grasp of the method and see how each step fits together.

 

Finish strong, and you’ll earn your next badge.

What’s the first thing you identify when using the CLEAR method?
The emotion you’re feeling
The thought you’re believing
The outcome you’re afraid of
The action you want to take



What is the purpose of the “Lie” step in CLEAR?
To decide who’s at fault
To deny your emotions
To look for distortions or faulty thinking
To feel better instantly



What kind of evidence does the “E” step ask you to consider?
Anything that feels emotionally true
Only facts that support your original belief
A fair look at what’s actually happening
Positive affirmations to cheer yourself up



Which of the following is a good example of how someone might think during the Alternative step?
“This always happens to me.”
“Maybe they had a reason I don’t know about.”
“It’s probably nothing, I should just get over it.”
“I don’t care anymore—they’re dead to me.”



What does the Reason step help you do?
React quickly to whatever feels most urgent
Push the thought aside and try not to feel anything.
Reflect and respond with clarity, anchored in Virtue
Wait until every emotion is gone before acting



What’s the real strength of the CLEAR method?
It makes the pain disappear immediately
It helps you control what others do
It gives you a way to respond with clarity, strength, and Virtue—even in hard moments
It guarantees that things will turn out the way you want



You’ll need to complete all questions before continuing.


 This is how you mark your steps and get ready for what’s next.
