Spring is here, bringing fresh energy and a new opportunity to set meaningful goals for the month. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal approach to starting each month with intention—by reflecting, resetting, and creating measurable goals that align with my long-term vision.
Today I Cover:
✨ The 3 key things I do at the beginning of each month to create momentum.
✨ How to reflect on your previous month to identify wins and areas for growth.
✨ The importance of setting specific, measurable goals in key areas of life—fitness, nutrition, career, personal development, and relationships
✨ Why small, micro-goals lead to lasting success and sustainable progress.
Key Takeaways:
1️⃣ Refresh Your Space: A clean environment leads to a clear mind. Start the month by deep cleaning—mop, sweep, dust, wipe down surfaces, and do laundry. You can even take it a step further with some seasonal spring cleaning to invite fresh energy into your space.
2️⃣ Reflect on Your Progress: Take time to review the past month. What did you accomplish? What worked well? What challenges did you face? Identifying these patterns helps you refine your focus and make intentional improvements for the new month.
3️⃣ Set Measurable Goals: Create goals in key areas of your life—fitness, nutrition, work, personal development, relationships, and beyond. Break them down into small, specific, and measurable steps that align with where you are right now. Progress happens over time, and micro-goals build lasting success.
This strategy has helped me stay on track with my biggest goals for years, and I know it can help you too. If you’ve ever struggled with goal-setting, this episode will help you break it down in a way that feels achievable and aligned with your lifestyle.
Every month is a chance to check in, recalibrate, and take the next step toward your vision. Let’s make this month count!
