The Habit Most Dreamers Skip (and Why It Matters)

Send us Fan MailWhen it comes to creativity and taking action on our dreams, there’s a lot of talk about moving forward, but we don’t spend nearly enough time looking back.That’s why I’m adding this brand-new habit to the Devoted Dreamers Habit Series: Scheduled Reflection. It’s a practice I didn’t include when I first launched the series, but it’s one I’ve come to see as essential for long-term faithfulness to a God-shaped dream.Here’s why: Without a consistent reflection practice, we miss key opportunities for growth and learning. When was the last time you took a pause to reflect on something you tried? It could even be a new habit you attempted during this series. Did you keep it up all week? Was it a total flop? Did you find yourself making adjustments with each new attempt? When you skip the reflection, you also miss out on the potential mindset shift that comes as you consider what you might do differently next time. But when you build a new reflection practice, it helps you recognize what God is already doing in and through you.Want to make it easy? I share a simple three-question reflection framework you can use weekly, monthly, or anytime you feel stuck. If you want to pursue your dream with steadiness instead of burnout, this habit matters right now.Get the Habit Tracker here: merrittonsa.com/habitsNEXT STEPS:Connect with Merritt: Website || Instagram || Book a CallLeave a Review: Apple Podcasts/iTunesSubscribe: on Apple Podcasts * on AndroidJoin the Dream Believers communityMORE ABOUT THE DEVOTED DREAMERS PODCAST:Produced by Jonathan R.
