I love having this conversation with people, but it can be hard — even scary at times – to take a closer look at your Four Tires and identify which ones are low. But it is so important to do. So, here’s what I do with my clients to help them figure out where to start:
First, take a look at the questions below and circle which ones are pulling on your heart. Don’t spend too much time on this. You want it to be a quick assessment.
Second, notice which tire has the most questions circled and that is your tire to focus on.
Third, choose ONE question to focus on from that selected tire and “sit in that” over the next few weeks and months to come. Let it percolate in you, maybe journal about it or talk it over with a good friend, but let it be asked and stay curious.
