The 2021 Monthly Progress Practice
Progress is made through small, consistent action. We offer a monthly practice of small actions or micro-habits to inspire positive change this year. Practice makes progress!
January – Make a commitment. Where do you want to put consistent action to make progress this year? What are you determined to do? Who are you determined to be?
February – Be confident. Confidence is about being comfortable in your own skin. What do you honestly love about yourself? Embrace it and be humbly proud.
March – Grow yourself. How do you want to spring forward? Where do you want to develop and further master a skill or mindset? Choose growth and learning over comfort and certainty.
April – Laugh! Celebrate April Fool’s Day and shift your mood. Watch comedies or listen to comedians. Have a good heartfelt laugh to lighten things up.
May – Be optimistic. Lead from a place of possibility. How can you imagine and bring to life a brighter future for yourself, your team, your world?
June – Own your presence. Think about the energy you want to bring into every room. Be intentional about positively attracting people to you as a leader through your way of being.
July – Simplify. What can you strip away from your busy life and still be fulfilled and happy? What can you take away and remove an irritant? Make choices for more simplicity and joy.
August – Honor your time. What do you want to put on your calendar first? What’s most important to put time against each day both professionally and personally?
September – Be interesting. What’s something new to try? What is a goal you want to pursue? What is a problem you want to solve? What do you want to contribute?
October – Be interested. Get to really know those around you. Be curious. Ask questions. Be empathetic to what’s happening in their lives.
November – Acknowledge and appreciate. Who can you recognize today? Acknowledge her strengths and positive ways of being. Say thank you and appreciate his contributions.
December – Contemplate. Be mindful through contemplation and reflection without judgment. Step back and look at things anew with openness to see things differently for the year ahead.
