Hello Beloved Inner Circle,
Yesterday marked Jackson and Arya’s final day of Kindergarten and 1st grade. It’s amazing how my perspective on the significance of the start and end of the school year has changed since becoming a parent. It truly evokes strong emotions.
As summer is around the corner for most, I am sharing a tool I use where I think about seasons as “elevation periods” to keep our energy focused on what matters the most—as we have defined in our “vision circles” (see the the 60-min workshop from week 1, in case you missed it).
Journal Prompt:
-
Here is a worksheet to envision your Summer Elevation Period exercise. Imagine it is the end of summer, and for each life area, list 2-3 things that you are celebrating. You can download the worksheet. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

It’s fascinating to see how many goals you actually achieve by the end of each period.

For me, I find that my “self-love me-time” occurs at night when I’m in bed and everyone else is asleep. I enjoy reviewing my list during this time. When do you schedule your self-check-ins?

As always, I prioritize focusing on the experiences I want rather than what may appear fancy or impressive. For instance, while the idea of traveling in Europe for a month may sound glamorous, I consider the potential challenges and exhaustion it may bring given Jackson and Arya’s ages and personalities.
