monthly check-in

In order to keep myself motivated + to recognize the projects + growth I've tackled...I try to do a monthly check-in with myself + my notebook. I like to list some goals at the beginning of the month + check in with them periodically. At the end of the month, I go back + make notes...and set some intentions for the month ahead. I'm not always great at doing this right at the turn of the month + I'm ok with that.

Month by month I like to list:
-zero-waste/simple living exploration
-wardrobe goals + projects
-budget goals
-books I read
-things I create
-what I'm wearing + thoughts
-seasonal pleasures I'm enjoying
-exercise goals
-relationship goals
-teaching goals + projects
-a to-do list

I'm also working through Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline for the second year in a row + recording notes + thoughts.

And I like to do the Moon List questions as they come out...for personal reflection + self knowledge. 

Sitting down with a cup of tea, a favorite playlist + a lit candle...getting off-line...and using my handwriting...takes me into a different state of mind. This slow introspection almost always has me coming away with spirits lifted. My actions haven't necessarily changed, but my recognition of all that has been accomplished + explored brings me a bit of a sense of value that I may not have felt before. It also gives me a sense of direction going forward.

What is your monthly practice?

Love,
​Jane

This is such a good idea. So often I feel that time is running away and I need more rituals to slow down. Thanks for sharing so much of your life. I enjoy reading your blog and instagram posts a lot. :)
