Hello, beautiful souls! Today, I’m overjoyed to share something that’s been two years in the making—the Monthly Growth Journal is finally here! This isn’t just a journal; it’s a tool for living intentionally, staying aligned, and making meaningful progress—one month at a time.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the five simple, science-backed features that make it so transformative and showing you how to apply them to your life—even if you don’t have the journal. From setting clear goals to practicing daily gratitude and reflecting on your wins, these steps will help you stay focused on what really matters.

This system revolves around five simple, science-backed steps that encourage intentionality, alignment, and progress:

1. Set Monthly Goals and Intentions:

Focus on what truly matters by identifying one or more key goals for the month. This helps clarify your priorities and gives you direction.

Action Step:
Think about one goal that lights you up—what’s the first step you can take this month to move closer to it? Write it down and focus on that.

2. Practice Daily Reflection and Gratitude:

Start each morning with affirmations, gratitude, and daily intentions. End your day by reflecting on your wins and lessons learned.

Tip:
Today, try writing down one thing you’re grateful for and one small win from the day. You’ll feel the shift!

3. Reconnect with Your Word of the Year:

Choose a guiding word that aligns with your vision and serves as your compass for the year. Reflect on it daily to stay grounded and aligned.

Tip:
If you’re not sure how to choose your word, I’ve created a free discovery tool to make it easy. You can download it here! Let it guide you to the word that speaks to your journey.

4. Weekly and Monthly Check-Ins:

Regularly evaluate your progress, celebrate your wins, and adjust your approach by asking: What worked? What didn’t? What can I improve?

Action Step:
What’s one win from the past week that you can celebrate? Take a moment to acknowledge it—it matters!

5. Goal-Tracking and Action Planning:

Break big goals into smaller, actionable steps. Focus on 2-3 key actions each week to make steady, meaningful progress.

Action Step:
Take one big goal and break it into three small actions you can do this week. You’ll be amazed at how much progress you can make!
