The goal of Jennie's process was never just to feel your feelings and stop there — it culminates in this: making a deliberate, Spirit-led choice about what to do next.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Jennie's fifth step is "Choose." Why is it important that this comes last — after Notice, Name, Feel, and Share — rather than first? What goes wrong when we jump straight to "what should I do" without doing the preceding steps?
2.She emphasizes that the choice in Step 5 is not "choose to feel differently" but "choose how to respond" — it honors the emotion without letting it dictate behavior. Can you think of a situation in your life right now where you have noticed, named, and felt an emotion — and now need to make a deliberate choice about how to respond?
3.Jennie introduces the concept of agency — the God-given capacity to act rather than just react. How does emotional awareness actually increase your agency rather than diminish it? Have you found that naming and feeling emotions makes you more or less reactive?
