Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed, lost or just worn out.  You’re missing that spark, that fire you had at the beginning of the year.  I definitely hit that wall myself just a few months ago and ReFIREment is the process I used to help me rediscover my passion and my fire and today, others tell me how peaceful, surrendered and relaxed I look.  

If you’ve never heard of the term ReFIREment, this is the last of a four part series, helping you gain your passion back after a season of setbacks.  The four steps are:

Unplug: disconnecting from external resources temporarily
Unlearn:  reevaluating & challenging existing ideas, beliefs and concepts
Rest:  experimenting with and understanding ways to deepen your rest
Relearn:  incorporating new practices and beliefs to set you on a new path 

Today, let’s go deeper into step three: RELEARN.   

And as I’m recording this in early November 2020, it’s seven plus months since I made the decision to unplug to begin this journey. What are my results so far?

1. My life is very satisfying.  I have more discernment and boundaries around what is most important in my life.  I no longer drift along with the waves of circumstances.  I now bless and release negative people from my list of acquaintances.  And for a recovering people pleaser, that is a huge improvement in the quality of my life.  
2. I have rediscovered my passion for teamwork and collaboration, which have been the hallmark of my career.  I’ve realized that I’m not as effective as a lone wolf and how much I love helping others grow and prosper within the context of a TEAM you LOVE.  
3. Our monthly business income is now 4x what it was before I stopped working in April.  And we’re only scratching the surface of what is possible.  
4. This morning as an example, I set a personal record for the amount of deep sleep in a night, beyond anything I thought possible a few months ago.  And my body has already released 22 inches of girth during this lengthy process of unlearning.  As I enter this season of relearning, I’m excited about what’s to come.
