Cultivating Your Yes: Moving From Acknowledgment to Accountability

In this episode of the Choosing Your Yes series, we explore the second step of the SHINE Method: Include the Lessons. This principle challenges us to reflect on our past decisions, embrace the lessons they’ve taught us, and use them to create an intentional, elevated, and aligned “yes.” Through personal stories, faith-filled encouragement, and practical steps, you’ll learn how to move from simply acknowledging your past to taking accountability for your choices. This episode will empower you to cultivate a yes that aligns with your God-given purpose and helps you break free from unproductive cycles. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✨ Why people often fail to reflect on their past yeses—and how to break that pattern. ✨ The risks of ignoring lessons from your past decisions. ✨ How to move from acknowledgment to accountability by including your lessons. ✨ Practical strategies to cultivate an aligned yes through reflection, prayer, and intentionality. Bold Declaration for This Episode: “I am cultivating my yes. I approach this daily opportunity and challenge with grace, curiosity, and patience. I am empowered by God to choose my yes with care, while learning to improve my yes as I take my lessons with me. Today I boldly declare I am cultivating an elevated and aligned yes!” This Week’s Challenge: Take a “Lesson Audit” this week. 1. Write down three past yeses that didn’t align with your values or purpose. 2. Identify one key lesson from each decision. 3. Reflect on how you can apply those lessons to cultivate a more aligned yes moving forward.
