In today's episode I empower you to get clear about how engaged or disengaged you are with your life. I believe this has the power to help you uncover and discover TRUTHS so you can LOCATE where you are, and engage more fully with life.
What happens when the "ENGAGEMENT" doesn’t work out quite the way we thought it would?
Perhaps it's disappointment. Despair. Death. Divorce. Disconnection…Disengagement.
We disengage from our feelings. Our relationships.
We disengage within ourselves.
So, how ENGAGED are YOU?
Do you have a way of testing this for yourself?
Do you feel stuck? Lost? Confused? Alone?
Maybe this is YOU today.
I remember feeling this for over a decade.
Why? I had disconnected and disengaged from my heart.
If you’re disengaged from your heart, you won’t be able to fully receive the gifts of love and life.
Today I’m going to help you identify specifically how engaged or disengaged you really are.
I’ve discovered 9 Areas Of Engagement in Life.
Please allow your heart to lead you as you do this exercise.
Rate each of these 9 areas of life from 1-10 (1 = Disengaged. 10 = Fully Engaged + In LOVE.)
1. Love.
2. Spirit.
3. Time.
4. Self. (Self Care.)
5. Thoughts.
6. Growth.
7. Life’s Work.
8. Finances.
9. Fun.
Please add up the numbers.
What’s your number? This is your Engagement Rating (eRating).
What’s most important here is that you’ve located yourself, and you know where you are. No matter what your number is, you can change it starting today.
Is your eRating at 45 or below?
If so, you’re DISENGAGED.
Is your eRating between 45 and 63?
If so, you’re SOMEWHAT DISENGAGED.
If your eRating between 64-90?
If so, you’re ENGAGED.
Wherever you are, identify it today.
Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage with yourself) and write down your eRating.
Also write down each of the ratings you gave the 9 areas of engagement in your life.
TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:
1. Make a decision today to re-engage or perhaps to truly engage for the first time.
2. For each of these 9 areas, write down all the resources that you have available to you.
3. Look at the area with the highest number. Make a decision to engage even more in that area.
4. Look at the 3 bottom numbers with the lowest engagement ratings. Identify at least one resource that you have available to you in each of these areas, and tap into them.
Give thanks for your resources.
Give conscious attention, focus, love, and care to the areas that are desperately in need of your love, care, and attention.
Connect and engage in these areas...and in all 9 areas of your life.
