October Reset

I like to hit a soft "reset" button each month and to take stock of the prior month.  October means we're entering the last quarter of the year. I always feel that once October arrives, the days start speeding up a bit, and then after Halloween, it's a quick slide into the holidays.  

This is your reset, so there are no right or wrong ways to do this exercise. Write down your answers, or do this in a group - even with your family. 

Have a great start to your October - and have a Happy Halloween!  

  

Digesting September:

1. What in September are you most proud of that you accomplished or experienced? 

2. What are the top challenges you encountered in September? 

3.  What in September are you most grateful for?

 

October Reset: 

1. Top Inner Intention: What's your top inner intention for October?  Just like last month, the inner intention is something you'd like to accomplish in your mindset or inner workings. For October, maybe it's "really focus on goals for Q4" or "meditate twice a week."  

2. Top Outer Intention: This is something you'd like to manifest in the physical, outer world this month. Maybe it's organizing a Halloween party for the family or friends, going to walks in the crisp Autumn air, or hitting the hay earlier.  

3.  Top Professional Intention: what do you want to accomplish this month at work?  Just like lastm month - maybe your schedule has that already determined for you or something you want - or need - to accomplish by the end of October ... or by the end of the year.  

REFLECT: Notice how running through this exercise makes you feel.  Excited?  Calmer? More focused? Maybe you didn't like it at all - why is that? Sometimes people find intention-setting confronting. And that's okay too - but try to press through it. I'll be posting this every month, so I hope you find it useful! ๐Ÿงก
