Guiding Questions:

Use the following questions (curated by Kelly) to guide your reflection, journaling, or conversations:

1. Complete this sentence, out loud or on paper: 'I am someone who ___.' What comes out first, before you edit it?
2. Who is the type of person that could get the outcome you want — and what would that person believe about themselves?
3. Whose habits do you admire, and what is it about who they are, not what they do, that you're actually drawn to?
4. What matters to you about your health? Not what you think should matter, but what actually honestly matters to you?
5. If no one else would ever know - no praise, no recognition - would you still want this for yourself? Why?
6. Picture your healthiest, most consistent self... one year from now. What does an ordinary Tuesday look like for that person, start to finish?
7. When you imagine your new identity fully (e.g. someone who moves their body, someone who eats with intention, etc.), does it feel like becoming someone new, or like coming back to someone you used to be?

Imagine how your life would be different if you focused your time and energy on things that matter most to you. In this episode, we explore how to shift from accidental patterns to intentional daily habits so that you can thrive personally and professionally. Brian Pavlick, Community Relations Manager for Baptist Health Citizens Hospital and Baptist Health Shelby Hospital in Alabama, describes a simplified approach for building and sustaining habits that support your well-being.

Guiding Questions:

1. Brian categorizes his habits into “buckets”-- personal, professional, mental, spiritual, fun, social, and self-care. Which bucket in your life currently needs to be filled? In other words, which bucket requires a bit more attention and improvement based on your current season?
2. Brian and Diane discussed a professional exercise, in which you divide your calendar into squares to analyze how you spend your time and energy. If you were to do this “calendar audit” for yourself, what trends would you notice? What small changes can you make in your daily routine so that your time and energy better align with your values?
3. For your mental bucket, what are some ways you can engage your mind? How can you balance mental activity and mental rest?
4. Journaling is a habit that can help you capture moments, reflect, notice patterns, and provide perspective. How could this practice enhance your life if you took intentional time to slow down and journal for 5 minutes each day?
5. Who are some people in your life that fill your social bucket in a meaningful way? How can you prioritize in-person interactions in those relationships?
