STEP FOUR: EVALUATE YOURSELF

               Step four ingetting your life to a 10 plus involves regular evaluation of self. I suggest at least four times per year to truly look at what you are regularly doing, who you are spending your time with, if you are meeting your goals, whats going great, the improvements that are needed, and overall how you are feeling on a daily basis. This can involve an hour of your time, in a quiet area with a blank sheet of paper in your journal, where you write out all of these things and analyze them.
               Another great suggestion is to have a person that you regularly meet with to discuss these things weekly. For example, my husband and I take an hour at dinner on Sunday evenings and discuss our week. We talk about the things we did amazing, what we learned, how we can get better, and the steps we took toward our goals. These dinners are often celebrations of our successes that week. They also consist of honest feedback and suggestions. We even involve our four and a half year old daughter Noella.
               A thorough way to self evaluate and grow is also with the help of a life coach or mentor, where you can regularly meet with the person and review your life, making profound, meaningful changes and move forward. A mastermind group is also fun and great for accountability. It is a regular group you meet with once or twice per month to network, discuss goals, receive ideas, and be held accountable by like minded friends for you to follow through with your dreams. This powerful team of success minded beings become one another's support system.
                Remember to ask yourself regularly, " who am I spending time with"? "what am I doing with my time"?, "what choices am I making"? " what can I do to be more successful, happier, more fulfilled"?, "If I say yes to this, what am I saying no to"? These questions will help you to regularly evaluate if you are moving forward in life.
               Most importantly, be proud of yourself. Just the time you take to learn how you are doing, is a step in the right direction.
