The 2022 Monthly Progress Practice
Progress is made through small, consistent action. We offer a monthly practice of small actions or inquiries to inspire positive change this year. Practice makes progress!
January – Envision. Go big and make the year roaring! What’s your BHAG? How do you want to stretch yourself? Where do you want to take small, consistent action to make a big impact?
February – Sustain yourself. What is a small, daily action you can take to keep you operating at your best? A daily gratitude practice. One minute of deep breaths. A daily walk. You choose!
March – Spring forward. What small seed do you want to plant now to cultivate a curiosity and explore a path that might lead to what’s next? How do you want to learn, grow, and experiment?
April – Permission granted! What do you want to give yourself permission to do or be?
May – Don’t focus. How can you expand your horizons and bring in different fields of insight? What divergent thinking can unlock new insights? Allow your brain freedom to play.
June – Focus. As you enter summertime, what needs your attention right now? Where can you cut things from your list to simplify? Cut out the unnecessary to create space for the important.
July – Reset your mood. Get into the spirit! Play a song. Smile. Move your body. Literally shake it off. Get your endorphins flowing.
August – Rethink your time. Shape the experience of it to serve you and how you want to feel. Slow it down, speed it up. Flex it. Maximize short periods. Focus on the quality vs. the quantity.
September – Make time. It is an act of choice and prioritization. What do you want to make time for? What is important? What shouldn’t wait? What must you do now?
October – Harvest. Be on the hunt for what’s new. What insights, knowledge, or resources can you obtain and store to serve you now and in the future?
November – Fall back. Get yourself to the balcony. Take in and reflect on your life+work. What are your observations? What’s working? What’s not working? What’s next?
December – Celebrate! Pause to acknowledge and honor the year. What’s worthy of celebration?
