The 2023 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 – Self-reflect. Who do I want to become this year? How do I want to grow? If I were to stand in courage, what’s next for me?
February – Affirm. Acknowledging oneself works. What are three strengths you appreciate about yourself? What makes you a good leader?
March – Energize. Rest or adding space to one’s calendar isn’t always the answer. Add an energizer that you love instead. It will give you a boost of energy.
April – Laugh! It’s an easy, quick stress relief and a way to reset your nervous system when it’s on hyper-drive.
May – Experiment. Give yourself permission to play and prototype. Think of it as your own personal R&D investment for your future self.
June – Connect. Personal relationships are central to being happy. Be proactive—reach out and make a connection.
July – Choose. We can’t do it all at once. We must make choices. What will you choose not to do this summer to create more space?
August – Economize. Ambitions aren’t created equal. Dial in your effort and align it to each goal depending on how much it matters to you or how good you want to be.
September – Act. Make regular progress on a meaningful goal by focusing close in. Take action on just the next step.
October – Pace. Trust that there will be time. Rather than grind, push action items off. Allow the right moment, space, or energy to present itself.
November – Thank you! Show gratitude for someone who supported your ambition.
December – Wonder. Allow yourself to be in awe. Create spaciousness for inspiration and new possibilities to present themselves in the coming new year.
