ACTION:
Complete the GET YOUR BAGS PACKED checklist.
REFLECTION (Intuitive Listening):
Throughout this book I will ask you to participate in an intuitive listening activity. This is a process by which you are able to communicate and to listen to your inward man. I suggest that you get very comfortable; find a place of solace and peace. Don’t lay down, you might fall asleep. Take deep relaxing breaths until your mind empties itself from the mental chatter. Ask yourself the following question (remember to take time to listen for and journal the answer):
1. What would I like to truly achieve as you read this book?
Sharing (Select 2-3 Activities):
There will be times, throughout this book, that I will ask you to share. The process of sharing starts by doing selfless acts of kindness. Once you have completed a series of acts of kindness, I want you to journal what you did, how it made you feel, and the response you received. Then I want you share those experiences with your members of your HOPE SQUAD.
