PLAN WITH ME | How I Set Goals and Get Organized Every Month

Hey beautiful!

At the beginning of every month, I have a ritual:

I make a cup of coffee (with unsweetened almond milk, duh), turn on the "Hanging Out and Relaxing" playlist on Spotify, and set my intentions and goals for the month.

I'm a huge fan of dreaming big and having a HUGE vision for your life, but really it's the day-to-day habits that you develop that GET you to those huge goals eventually (with consistency and effort, of course).

I realized that when I'd plan my life in 1, 3, 5 or 10 year intervals, I would be super pumped and motivated for about 2 minutes, then life would get busy and I'd lose sight of those big dreams.

That's why I reverse engineered the process and said to myself,

"How can I have my bigger vision in mind, but actually trust that I'm doing enough on a monthly, weekly or daily basis to get there?"

That's where I came up with my monthly ritual that I do EVERY SINGLE MONTH NOW. It goes a little something like this:

1. JOURNAL MY INTENTIONS. I sit down with my coffee and a journal and just write out what I would love to happen for that month in different areas of my life. I break this down into four sections:

  • Business
  • Love
  • Health
  • Self-Care

2. TRANSFER EVERYTHING TO MY MONTHLY WALL CALENDAR. This is where I get the bigger vision of my must-do's that month. Whether that's going to a concert, a fundraiser or work event, dinner with friends -- these are the things you've already scheduled out for the month.

3. BREAK IT DOWN IN MY DAILY PLANNER. This is where I get into the nitty-gritty details: when my client appointments are, when I'm going to work out, and all the day-to-day tasks that I need to get done that will set me up for success to reach my larger goals.

I break this into SO MUCH DETAIL in my new YouTube video, including what my personal intentions and goals are for March 2018!

Side note! I'd love for you to subscribe to my channel, as I have so much content planned for SPRING TIME: think spring cleaning, fresh start, healthy habits kinda vibes.

I'M BACK ON THE TUBE Y'ALL! Setting long-term goals and having a big vision for your life is great, but it's your daily/weekly/monthly habits that really set you up for success to REACH those bigger goals. In this video, I break down how I set goals on a monthly, weekly and daily basis.

Watch it, and then comment below with one of your goals and intentions for the month. I'd love to hear from you!

Love ya tons, and I can't wait to see the progress you make this month!

IN HEALTH & HAPPINESS,
