Today we're continuing the series of reflections & reviews of this past year. Here we'll walk through a powerful, Christ-centered process to reflect on failures, areas of improvement, gaps, & shortcomings, looking for the lessons God wanted us to learn, and asking Him for forgiveness to receive His mercy wherever needed. I believe failure is a great learning opportunity, if we're open to seeking the wisdom from it. Our challenges, setbacks, & trials are leading to triumphs, and testimonies. In this episode I guide you through: • A Simple Evaluation Protocol with 3 questions to ask yourself to Assess any area of your life • A 7-Step / 7-Question Deeper-Dive Process to get to the Root of what most often causes us to fall short of our goals • Techniques and practical tips to release the shame, guilt, & tendency to beat yourself up when examining our failures or areas of improvement so we can give ourselves more grace & approach it with a lens of compassion & curiosity instead of self-criticism & condemnation, while drawing out those lessons learned To get the most out of this series: Be sure to 1) Subscribe to the Podcast so you don't miss the new episodes that'll be coming out this week! 2) Register HERE for the upcoming FREE Goal-Setting Workshop on JAN 8th -- together let's build upon & implement this process so we can set you up with confidence, clarity, & renewed hope toward your goals & dreams for this coming year, and help you have a plan for those inevitable roadblocks & challenges that WILL come up.
