WEEKLY LEARNING REVIEW

One great thing that happened to me in the past week was…

I was informed that I had earned an FSA Incentive Award for completing an Evidence-Based Recidivism Reducing program. The reward is pizza, soft drinks, and a movie in the Chapel with the other award recipients.

The main struggle I faced this past week was…

Keeping my thoughts and my communications free from succumbing to the negative influences of my environment.

…and if I were advising or mentoring someone dealing with the same struggle, I’d advise them to…

Remember that guarding your heart with diligence and renewing your mind is a continual process that requires commitment and discipline. You must intentionally and deliberately decide what to do about each thought that enters your mind. You must choose words and communication that are consistent with the character you decide to build and the results you desire to produce.

2 things I learned about myself this week include…

I have not been monitoring my thoughts as intently as should in order to be my best self.
I have not been pursuing my spiritual, mental, social/emotional, and physical renewal and development as intensely as I must in order to be the best version of myself.

1 decision I could have made last week to make my life better or to move ahead faster would have been…

To choose to devote more focused time to my Spiritual Personal/professional Enlightenment Enrichment Development.

WEEKLY LIFE REVIEW

Score yourself on a scale of 1 to 5 in each of the areas below, with 5 being awesome. Also, write any notes in the bubbles or the space below about what is happening in that area or what you would like to improve. Be honest, but also be kind to yourself. Tally your score up and multiply by 2 and that will give you a score out of 100. Basically, you’re doing a spot check on your life and giving yourself a score so that you know where you are. For the partner/love bubble, if you are not currently in a relationship, then rate yourself on how well you’re doing living each day through your heart.

Health – 4 Mental/Emotional – 4 Partner/Love – 4 Family – 5 Friends – 4
Mission – 5 Experiences – 5 Spirit – 4 Finances – 4 Learning – 5
