Week 5: A Radical Challenge

The final chapter of Keep The Change is a re-cap of all we've been challenged to do so far:

Live the life you desire and tell others the truth about it.

Find a purpose in your pain and make a difference in others' lives.

Go after your goals with the full knowledge of your personality strengths.

Jealously guard what goes into your mind (and who influences your life).

Define a strategy for lasting change--and keep it with the help of accountability partners.

Capture your daily reality through journaling.

Always look at life through the lens (or perspective) of love!

And never, never give up!

I'm proud of you all! Watch for the next online group in 2009!

Be encouraged,

Becky

Week 4: Capture Daily Reality

It is NO secret that I'm a firm believer in journaling--whether you are using the 4-page a day Change Your Life Daily Journal or the My Partner Prayer Notebook--every written word contains more accountability than a good intention!

This week--even with the holiday--I want to ask you to plan (one day in advance) for time to journal. Record your weight or eating goals--even log your food intake and workout schedule. List your "to do's" and check them off. Rewrite your prayer request list.

For the next 7 days, keep a journal--faithfully. Read pages 131-152 in Keep The Change to "fan the flame" for this powerful, daily discipline. Journaling WILL change your life, if you let it!

Be encouraged,

Becky

KTC Week III: Tame Your Temperament

Taming Your Temperament is not just a good idea—I am convinced that it is essential to having successful relationships with family, co-workers, and friends. So we're going to tackle it together!

Your reading assignment this week: pages 49-77 and fill in the blanks at the end of the chapter.

Your first writing assignment, yes—writing—is to retake the Personality Test, if you haven’t taken it recently, (in the back of the book) AND ask those closest to you to take it, as well. It is SO important to realize WHY you and others respond/react differently to certain things; it allows you to have greater compassion, understanding, patience, and empathy.

For your second writing assignment, I would like you to choose one of your personality weaknesses and write 3 paragraphs about the most recent time you exhibited this trait (I’ll explain in greater detail during the phone call). Paragraph 1: Explain the situation and your reaction. Paragraph 2: How/if it negatively impacted those involved. Paragraph 3: How you believe you could improve on your response (react differently) and more positively impact others.

I am pushing you here—but I believe that this exercise can and will produce change that lasts!

Be encouraged,

Becky
