Read the lesson.
Welcome back.
Today is about taking a minute to simply reflect . . . let the concept of honoring others and the power of words sink in a bit.
These are questions I ask myself that keep me self-aware, eyes open to what I can grow in, how I’m growing, what I’m learning.
Honor is an inside out process,
So if we were having coffee these are the kinds of questions we’d discuss together.
And the key word is together.
I’m learning this right alongside you.
No one apart from the good Lord himself is perfect at this.
So we lean into reflecting knowing we’re going to get it wrong at times,
knowing we can course correct,
and owning that with freedom and joy and doing it together.
There’s a few questions, so feel free to pause when one really hits you.
You can come back to these reflection questions for years! .. i have!
But for now, you can go deep and grab your coffee, your journal,
you can go more full coverage and go for a walk outside and let these questions kind of walk with you and get to wherever you get to with one question, and let it go to focus on the next question:
Take a deep breath in: and let’s reflect together:
Reflection Questions:
Honoring self check in - how is my own self talk?
What would elevating my own self talk look like?
What aspects of who i am do i need to remind myself of today? that maybe i’ve recently let drift or forgotten?
When do i feel the most secure?
When was the last time i shared my own vulnerabilities with my team or spouse?
What would my upcoming few days look like living from a place of totally owning my worth
Everything i’m concerned or worrried about right now - what does goodness in my life say to that? what does my faith say to those things?
How do I typically respond when team members of family members bring up problems or errors?" do i respond with trying to fix, or do i respond with dread or complaining, or do I empower them in their ability to conquer that problem?
What messages might my team or family be receiving about failure based on my reactions to someone failing?
When was the last time I openly shared one of my mistakes and what I learned?
How much of my decision-making is driven by avoiding failure or hardship versus pursuing growth and belief?
When was the last time I affirmed my spouses character (not just their actions) but something i appreciate about WHO they are?
Do i find myself mentally ranking team members and family members based on their output rather than the whole person?
How do I respond internally when someone has an out of character moment? do i question their character or do I remind them of their character?
In my last five pieces of feedback, how many were focused on who the person is versus what they have done?
How would my spouse, family members or team members say is the primary way to gain respect?
If there’s anything you’d like to ever process with me, reach out! these conversations are what i talk about every day and want to talk about every day!
Know that i’m here for whenever you do need to process! i’m not a counselor, but i am a fellow learner and leader!
If not, that’s all for today. I’ll see you soon.
