How to evaluate:
- Make time. To get started, set aside at least an hour, without distraction, alone.
- Ask God to guide you. Pray for wisdom.
- Be creative. Think big. Disregard limitations.
- Take notes. Write down your thoughts. Make lists.
- Take a break. Do it again.
- Share your insights with someone you love.
- Plan next steps.
What to Evaluate
- Ask yourself: What kind of person am I? What am I like?
- Consider your life in big categories, like Health, Relationships, Work, Play.
- Make lists under each category. (For health, think physical, emotional, spiritual, social, etc.)
- Think about where you have been, what you have done.
- Consider what your experiences have prepared you for.
- Think about those things you have always wanted to do or accomplish.
- List things to stop doing. Were you too busy before? Drop some things.
- List things to start doing. (Praying, writing, exercising, reading, playing music, etc.)
These are just some suggestions of ways to make the most of our season of stillness.
