This was a fun but challenging goal.Īt some point during the month, I realized I had committed to more social events than I realized.

Set the mood with your go-to playlist and head to Pinterest to start looking for some inspo. VISION BOARDĪfter a good monthly reflection, it’s time to get excited! This journal-like section gets me in my feels – which I love before doing any kind of goal setting. Pausing to reflect on what’s happening in my life and how I’m actually doing is KEY to a successful reset.Ĭreating realistic expectations, as well as reminding you of all the good, the past month reflection is how I always start my resets – even though this section is at the bottom of the Notion template.
