This week on the episode we will take a little sneak peek at the wonderful trip I took in December with my family. I'll share quite a bit about where we went and what we did and hopefully paint a picture of our travels we took from Ohio to Singapore to Australia! The main focus of this episode will start around 13:40 of today’s episode if you want to dive in there. Today we will start examining if you are making yourself a priority in your life. We'll touch a little bit on finding your Word of the year and making sure that the choices you're making are aligning with your actual priorities and not priorities that are set for you by others. We will explore questions like, are you moving towards the things that you want to create in your life or are you allowing excuses to get in the way? Is what you are saying a priority to you actually something that you care about?    If you didn't hear last week's episode I mention it and you can find it here: I also give an update on the Challenge that will be starting soon.

We are continuing our series on goal creation and this week we are talking all about identifying our core values. Over the episode we will help you understand what your values are and walk through some exercises to help you fully identify your own core values. I mention a list of question you can ask yourself to get started on your value search. These are from an article I read by Tony Robbins. Start with these and ask yourself follow up questions to help you narrow down on your values. When you think about your life, what is the most important aspect? What sort of news or stories inspire you? What sort of news or stories depress you? If you could change anything about the world, what would it be? When were you the happiest? At what point in your life were you the saddest? Who do you admire the most in life? What about them is admirable to you? Here is a FREE pdf download for the Core Values master list I mentioned in the episode. This will help you see some popular values that may help you determine yours. You can find that here.

In the past month, we have explored various aspects of gratitude, from understanding its essence to expressing it inwardly and outwardly. We have learned how gratitude can change our perspective and reframe outcomes. As we conclude our focus on gratitude, let's step into the topic of finding gratitude when faced with hardships and adversity. While it may seem challenging to be grateful during difficult times, it is possible to find moments of gratitude even amidst grief, turmoil, and struggles. In this week's podcast, we will discuss how to shift our perspective towards gratitude and find solace in the midst of challenging circumstances. Transformative Power of Gratitude: Practicing gratitude during difficult times can be transformative. It allows us to acknowledge the lessons and strength gained from adversity. Gratitude provides insight and a different perspective, helping us cope with loss and find meaning in challenging circumstances. It is not about feeling guilty or obligated, but rather about appreciating what we have and recognizing how it can work for us rather than against us. By embracing gratitude, we can set boundaries, make decisions, and open ourselves up to healing and growth. Gratitude is a journey and a process that requires practice. As we navigate difficult times, the principles of gratitude we have discussed in previous weeks will help us through it.. Building a practice of gratitude equips us to face various situations with strength and a bit more ease.  This week’s verse focuses are below: Colossians 4:2 - Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. Psalm 69:30 - Then I will praise God’s name with singing, and I will honor him with thanksgiving. 2 Corinthians 9:15 - Thank God for this gift too wonderful for words! Psalm 107:1 - Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. To follow me more you can always find me on Instagram @steph.book, or join my Facebook group ⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠.
