“What would happen if I spent a whole day on my body, mind and soul?”

–Mia

What would you do if you focused on YOU for a month?

I get really intentional about planning my birthday month, and I’m going to show you how to do that so you can plan for your birthday month too. If your birthday is far away, go put a reminder in your calendar two weeks before your birthday with the link to this episode. Or decide you’re going to embrace planning a month for you now.

May is a really busy time, and I think part of the push to do this is that it’s powerful to put yourself first when you are being pulled in other directions. I know that when I have a plan and I’m intentional, I can make things happen even in busy times. I have a business focus and as part of my uplevel, I’m inviting entrepreneurs to join me for daily business practices inside of FLOW365 for a month. I’m calling May Momentum.

Why a month? It takes the pressure off one day. It means I can flex with the weather, with big events and weekend plans. I can weave in the things I want even with important dates for my business. Once I have the ideas, I make space on the calendar for them.

Some things I’m excited to include:

May Momentum
Artist Dates
Clearing out stuff
Ceremony with Sarah Jenks
Time with friends
A whole day focused on my body, mind and soul

Questions I ask:

What needs completion?
What needs or wants attention?
What would it look like to celebrate me?

DOABLE CHANGES

At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is where change happens.

Even though we want big change, it’s really little things done over and over that make the difference. So pick a doable thing. Put it in your calendar. Weave it through your days for a week and then move on to the next one. It will have a snowball effect.

Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:

ASK THE QUESTIONS. Ask yourself three questions a couple of weeks before your birthday month: What needs completion? What needs or wants attention? What would it look like to celebrate me? Braindump, journal, just put all the ideas down. Decide what things are important to you. If your birthday month is a ways away, your doable change now is to put a reminder in your calendar for two weeks before your birthday month with these questions and the link to this episode.
IS THIS ME NOW? Sometimes we have ideas that fit on the surface, but they may feel a little flat or like a past you. Pause and question whether the idea really fits you now. Maybe it does with some changes, or maybe it’s not the right thing for now.
COMPLETE ONE TASK. Sometimes we start tasks but don’t quite finish them. I sorted through a bunch of stuff and decided to get rid of things, but still have the bins of things. Completion looks like getting those out of my house by a tag sale of donation to Goodwill. Maybe you have something written but not published or gathered but not returned. What could you complete today.
