On a night last week, I added three items to the app’s cart of a restaurant from which I was going to get food on my way to work the next morning. On the morning of the pick-up, I completed the order without checking the items in the cart. When I picked up my order, to my surprise I was handed an extra bag. I checked the bags and remembered that I mistakenly added an item but was sure I removed it the same night. Although the extra cost was minimal, I was still irritated at myself for not checking the cart before finalizing the order, causing me to waste money and food, since I threw away the unwanted thing.

Probably you double-check your orders routinely or do not even make mistakes when you order. But are there habits you practice or beliefs you have which you have not given a second thought as to why you do or have them, respectively? It might be your working style, how you think about people, expectations of yourself, how you raise children, how to deal with conflict, how to handle uncertainty, to name a few.

Today, rethink a belief that you hold to determine if it is serving you optimally or if it is still serving you at all.

Cheers to your progress.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12:2
