The F.A.C.T. Process
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following 4-step model for responsible problem solving was developed by author and therapist Gay Hendricks. For more information, visit

1. F is for Facing
What is the reality of the situation as it is?
What am I not facing?
What truths have I not spoken?
What have I been blaming others for that I could take responsibility for creating?
2. A is for Accepting
What about this situation have I not accepted, exactly as it is?
or What would I most like to change about this situation? Could I let go of wanting to change it (for the moment) and accept it exactly as it is?
3. C is for Choosing
What do I most want in this situation?
What choices do I need to make?
4. T is for Taking action
What actions do I need to take?
What actions could I take?
What actions am I inspired or guided to take?
What actions will I take?

TODAY'S CONTEMPLATION:
There are two perfect men / women; one dead, and the other unborn.

This reminds me that the inventory is mine! In Step Ten it says that we need to continue to take our inventory. It is a one time thing, for me it is a daily thing. I think this is a good process to help me to look at my day, and hopefully it will help someone else.
