59 | Pause: Are You Skipping Gratitude to Chase the Next Goal?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever wondered why you rush from one accomplishment to the next, never really feeling the joy of what you’ve achieved? What if the most powerful step you could take is to actually stop and sit in the gratitude of your answered prayers? I share what happened when a simple comment in a sister circle stopped me in my tracks and why the habit of pausing might be exactly what you and I need right now. You’ll hear science, stories, and the surprising truth about how celebrating old wins moves you forward faster than chasing new ones.
Topics Discussed:
- Why high achievers skip gratitude (and what it’s costing us, emotionally and physically)
- Stats and studies showing how reflection boosts happiness, resilience, and goal achievement
- The unspoken regret of “on to the next” culture and how to break it
- Simple, practical ways to reflect on past prayers, vision boards, and goals
- The power of saying “no new goals” and letting God surprise you
- An actionable activity to help you see your past blessings with fresh eyes
It’s easy to stay busy, but what would happen if you gave yourself permission to just pause and truly celebrate what’s already in your hands? This one shift could be the most rewarding choice you make this year.
This week's affirmation:
"The greatest gift I can give myself and my accomplishments is the time to feel them, to understand them, to celebrate them, and to let them transform me."
