Use this short body check-in for one observation, one optional ordinary choice, and an exit. “Not sure” is a complete entry. The fuller body-awareness worksheet owns a longer context and interpretation record; this check-in should finish without expanding into a search for symptoms.
A worked situation: Chair feels uncomfortable
Fictional example. A reader notices thirst is unclear but the chair feels uncomfortable. She changes position and returns to work instead of trying to identify every internal sensation.

A three-entry check-in with an exit
Write only: “What did I notice?”, “Is an ordinary need or comfort choice clear?”, and “How will I return to the activity?” In the chair example, uncomfortable support is an observation, a position change is an optional choice, and returning to the task is the exit. Uncertain thirst stays uncertain. Do not infer internal-signal accuracy, identify a diagnosis, or repeat the record until it feels reassuring. Skip or stop inward attention if it increases distress. This is an original organizing resource, not a validated assessment.
