Good morning! Welcome to the Keto Mom page. My name is Stephanie, and we're diving into the second half of chapter 4 of "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟱 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘄𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵" 𝗯𝘆 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘅𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹.

And then somebody said, "Isn't it interesting that you're always talking about taking action, but then you talked about reflecting?".


The main ideas of any personal growth or self-development book are very similar. They're all going to give you habits, systems, and ideas. They're going to give you a routine, for you to learn something. But the key is to take action on it.


Sometimes we take action, but we aren't moving in the right direction. Then maybe we need to make a pivot so that at the end of the day, we can reflect. And that's what chapter four is talking about, "The Power of Reflection". Before you go to bed, try to write in your journal.


Recap your

whole day!

  • 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁?

  • 𝗗𝗼 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁?


The book is not saying don't take action, instead, it's saying to reflect on your day...


Chapter 4.1:

Personal Awareness


This is something that I told the girls at the beginning of our year. If there's one thing I can teach you this year, it's the power of having awareness.

  • 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻.

Anyway, he talked about personal awareness questions. He says it's always good when you reflect and ask yourself some questions. If your goal is personal growth, these questions are very helpful to ask yourself, especially when you're doing reflection time.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳?

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁?

It is great to know where your strength is at. He's an encourager, I actually am as well. I feel like that's one of my biggest strengths.


"𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆?"

He said, he has unrealistic expectations and it's great to know what your weakness or your biggest liability is so that you can work on that or just have an awareness around it.


He is a go-getter, and he's optimistic but he also doesn't have realistic expectations. It's something good to know so that you don't get let down, and you'll have an awareness of how long some things might take.
