It's time to Be Rooted! Be Rooted is a new episode we'll be doing at the conclusion of every series, where we focus on what we've learned and discussed over the past few weeks and apply it into our daily lives. Tracy will be coming to you From the Couch, with the counselor's perspective. Sara will come to you with The Playbook, from a coach's perspective. And Monica will have the writer's approach and her MIV translations. We hope you enjoy this new format!

FROM THE COUCH:

1.  Become curious about your body:  

• Notice your aches and pains, the tension in your neck.  
• What is my body trying to tell me?  
• If I feel any pain, what is my body communicating to me? 
• Do I need rest? Do I need to see a doctor? 
• Am I holding onto something from my past, creating tension? 
• Am I fearful or worried about something causing stress in my body? 
• What does God offer me in my bodily pain: miracle, medical help or maintenance (self-care)?

2.  Become curious about your thoughts: 

• Where did this thought come from?
• Does this thought line up with Gods Word?
• Holy curiosity about our thoughts leads us to search out Gods Word.  
• How can I speak graciously to myself? 
• By speaking over myself what God says about me in His Word!

3.  Become curious about your feelings:

• Why am I resistant to coming to God and being still in God?  
• Why am I feeling angry? Have I crossed my boundaries or did someone else cross them?  
• What is God inviting you to this year?

THE PLAYBOOK:

1. What does stillness look like in your life? 
2. What are you saying yes to that is non-negotiable? 
3. What are you saying yes to that is negotiable? 
4. What of your “yes’s” is out of calling and obedience to God, or from a posture of guilt or selfishness? 
5. Who are you?
6. Who do you want to be?
7. How are you going to get there? 

MIV:

1. Where do you want freedom? It could be freedom from an addiction, a mentality, a belief. Find one Bible verse that will help you seek freedom in that area and post it everywhere you can. Make yourself a phone lock screen so you always see it. Know God desires freedom for that area for you too!
2. What is your story of freedom? If you’re a believer in Jesus, you already have found freedom. Spend some time journaling out your story of freedom, taking special note of the ways God worked in and through your life to make you free. Sometimes we need to remember how He provided in the past in order to trust Him for today.
3. What do you want your next story of freedom to look like? Who do you imagine when you envision yourself free from fill in the blank. We all have a mental image of the woman we hope to become in our minds eye. Note how she carries herself, how she speaks and moves and prays and worships. Pray God would gently remind you in the moments you’re not moving towards that picture of freedom so you can course correct.
4. Remember: we’re not seeking perfection. It’s not possible, plausible or attainable. But we are seeking better.
