At work we use a thing called plus/delta to assess how we are feeling about multiple facets of our day to day grind. Anytime there is a new initiative, a new curriculum, a new dismissal plan, a new set of forms to fill out, we also discuss our feelings using plus/delta terminology. It's basically a fancy way of saying what we think is going well and what we think really sucks about a specific topic.
Sometimes I don't think it's a bad idea to apply the same principal to our personal life. Identify areas that you think are going somewhat well and areas that you feel like you really suck at. If nothing else this can serve as a brain dump to get out what you are feeling and then make a plan to move past it.
So here is my plus/delta/good things/things that suck list:
Plus:
1. I am alive and God is my Father.
2. I am married to my best friend.
3. I have a job (well 2 jobs).
4. I have amazing kids.
5. I have a close group of friends I can rely on.
Delta:
1. My walk with God is not where I want it to be.
2. I feel very unorganized with every part of my life. I need to find a streamline system and do it.
3. My weight has come back. Get it off.
4. I need to prioritize time with Landen.
5. I need to be more present with my children. I need to look at them and watch them and listen to them.
Now I need to develop a plan. That comes next.
To be continued......
