Ditch the "resolutions" - try a more reflective method as you step into the new year!

Open up a word document or grab a blank sheet of paper and take about 30 minutes or so to reflect on last year in 4 areas:

1. health (both emotional and physical);
2. your wealth (purpose, passion and earthly mission);
3. your love life and relationships (intimacy and community); and
4. your faith or spirituality.

Go ahead.

​Put those category names at the top of your page: health, wealth, love, faith. 

Then take a moment to pray asking God to help you create an outline or summary of this past year as the basis of your reflection. 

• Ask yourself - What were the major milestones or stumbling blocks in these areas of my life? 
• Think who, what, when, where, and how to help you delve deeper.  
• Determine what you want to stop, start, or continue for the coming year. 
• Has God placed on your heart a WORD for the year? 
• What do you need to RELEASE in your life?

As opposed to setting goals or creating a system for change in your life, try this reflective method to get you going in more healthier directions. It's a powerful tool to help you start this next chapter of your life!
