Need inspiration? Hit Feeling Lucky for three random picks.
- I need a tiny pause—can we skip this one?
- Can we come back to this later?
- I’ll answer after a minute—give me a moment.
- Trade a token for a Curious—ask me later.
- I’m feeling quiet right now.
- Could you hold that thought?
- Let’s file this under ‘later’—I’ll ask you about it after dinner.
- Soft pause—breathe with me for 30 seconds.
- I’m skipping, but I’m curious—ask me about this tomorrow: “How did that make you feel?”
- Skip for now; later you can ask: “What did that bring up for you?”
