Audit Your Life: What’s Draining You & What Needs to Go

What if you treated your life like a business?
What if you had to sit down today and do a full audit—your habits, your mindset, your time, your relationships—would your life be profitable, or running at a loss?

Most people aren’t stuck because they lack talent or opportunity.
They’re stuck because they’re overloaded.

They’re carrying distractions, toxic inputs, unhealthy habits, and clutter that’s keeping them from the life they were created to live.

Hebrews 12:1 says:

“Strip off anything that slows us down…and run with patience the particular race God has set before us.”

You can’t run toward purpose while dragging dead weight.

Start With This: Where Are the Leaks?

Your life is like a boat—if it’s not moving forward, it might have leaks.
Here’s where to look:

• Time Wasters: Scrolling, binge-watching, overcommitting

• Toxic Inputs: News, negativity, gossip, entertainment

• People: Are they lifting you or draining you?

• Habits: Are they feeding your faith or your fear?

Ephesians 5:15-16 reminds us to “make the most of every opportunity.”

The Closet Analogy: Too Full for New Blessings

Think about your life like an overstuffed closet.
You can’t even see what you own.
So instead of cleaning it out, you go buy more—adding chaos to clutter.

That’s how many of us live.
We’re asking God for breakthrough, for new doors to open—but we haven’t cleared the space for it.

Isaiah 43:18-19 – “Forget the former things. I am doing a new thing.”
You can’t receive the new if your life is still filled with the old.

The Core Four Audit

Ask these 4 questions about everything in your life:
Does it align with my faith?
Does it add value?
Does it bring me peace?
Does it support my purpose?

Philippians 4:8 – Fix your thoughts on what is pure, good, and worthy of praise.

Digital Detox: The Silent Addiction

Let’s be honest.
The #1 thing draining most people?
Our phones.

We’ve stopped living and started scrolling.
Romans 12:2 – Don’t copy the behaviors of the world. Let God transform how you think.

Try a 24-hour phone fast.
Turn off notifications.
Reclaim your focus and your peace.

Swap to Elevate: Replace, Don’t Just Remove

You don’t need a total life overhaul.
Just small swaps:

• Replace toxic music with uplifting playlists (try K-Love Radio)

• Swap drama for faith-filled shows like The Chosen

• Ditch self-help fluff and dive into God-centered content

• Mute influencers and follow voices that grow your faith

These small swaps compound over time and radically shift your energy, mindset, and life.

This Week’s Challenge:

Identify 3 things draining you
Choose 1 thing to remove
Choose 1 truth to replace it with

You don’t need a new life.
You just need to remove what’s keeping you from living the one God already designed for you.
