Before using these checkpoints, I felt defeated at the end of every day. I was depressed, struggling to see the value in my daily actions, and overwhelmed with life. Don’t get me wrong, I know that some seasons of life are harder than others, but I am wholly convinced that God wants me to thrive through every season, and I felt my spirit withering. Not good, right??

Here’s how I turned it around: my Emergency Checklist. Now, on days I’m tempted to completely throw in the towel and binge on Netflix and chocolate bars, I can give myself a reality check. Hear me, though, every day isn’t amazing or perfect. I’m still in the deep sometimes. However, when I follow this list, I’m grounded in reality and truth and living my purpose according to my priorities. I know and can see what is working for me, and where I need to refocus or re-engage.

Time for you to check it out and try it for yourself!
