When you make decisions from a place of love, awareness, and integrity, they're decisions you can be proud of.

The more you love your decisions, the less you need outside approval for how you live your life. The better you feel, inside and out. The easier it is to heal.

Along the way I've learned that healing happens -- most anything important happens -- one decision at a time. And everything almost always circles back to your relationships -- with others and with your own self.

The prompts here are inspired by my coaching sessions with my dear friend, Jen Pearce, who's a certified High Performance coach through Brendon Burchard. She's helped me through my ups and downs with Healing Brave, and with my own personal healing process.

Our most recent sessions about integrity, gratitude and love were eye opening for me.

“Integrity is kept by everyday choices we make about how we show up, treat others, and stay true to our deepest values and highest aspirations.” (Brendon Burchard)

For any kind of change you want to make in your life, even if you don't know what that change would be, these prompts speak to that.

Because your relationships are everything, and your decisions are your future.

Use these questions and prompts to help you identify the practices that’ll keep you true to who you are and how you want to show up in life.

Use a journal and give yourself the time and space to reflect on your values... so you can act with intention when it's most important.
