The first of the month can be a great time to pause and reflect on the aspirations and intentions we created for ourselves and our organizations for the upcoming year.

Many of us chose new habits and behaviors to be established as the year turned –at one month in, let us pause together and assess where we are by using an inquiry practice:

  • What goals and aspirations or intentions did I set for myself this year?
  • When is the last time I reviewed them?
  • Did I fully complete my process of creating them?
  • When I review what I established last month what do I notice? What do I need to communicate to myself or others?
  • Can I declare success in any category?
  • What practices do I need to adjust, add or remove that will aid my journey this year?
  • What do I need to create for myself for the month of February? (February being the shortest month of the year can be a great month to commit to a new daily practice – 29 days of the gym, yoga, mediation, heating healthy, writing a page a day of my great novel . . . you get the picture)

Take time to pause today – enjoy what you discover, and we would love it if you shared your discoveries with us at Seven Stones.
