7 Ways to Create an Intentional and Courageous Roadmap for your Week!

7/28/2022

Oh, I see you girl! 
Are you wanting to know the tricks, tools, resources in living this intentional, courageous, present life? 
I break it down, day by day, week by week. 
These are the 7 tools - my guidepost, my pillars, my foundation that I use every single week to really enable me to stay connected to where I am and where I am doing AND exactly what I need to do. 
​
Are you ready?

1. Identify what the most supportive routine is for your life. 

  • How do you want to start your day? 
    • ​Is it slowly with a quiet house and a cup of coffee? 
    • ​Is it with a workout? 
    • ​Do you want to journal? Read? Mediate? 
  • What time do you need to get up to make this a possibility? 
    • Do you need to set your alarm an hour earlier than the kids need to get up? 
    • Can you wake without an alarm? 
  • What do you need to do for YOU before taking care of the house, the family, getting to work, etc? 
    • ​Do you want to get fully ready? 
    • Do you need to sit outside and watch the sun rise? 

2. Ground Yourself. 

  • What do you need to be present in your body, in your environment, in your life? 
    • Is it a walk in nature? 
    • Doing a 5 minute meditation? 
    • Yoga? Run? Workout? Bike ride? 
  • This doesn’t need to be extensive, just consistent. 

3. Create your to-do list . 

  • Identify the things that need to get done. 
  • The most supportive way is to break them down into categories 
    • 1. Self (care) 
    • 2. Work 
    • 3. Family 
    • 4. Physical Space 
    • 5. Misc. (paying bills, following up on appointments, running errands, etc.) 
  • Then, break it down for each day of the week. 
  • Please don't forget to schedule in off days - days where you can simply be you without having to do anything (Sunday's are the best for this)!

4. Create your to-be list . 

  • How do you want to feel? 
  • ​How do you want others to feel after they're interaction with you?  
  • Who are you growing into? 
  • For example,
    • I want to be present becomes I AM PRESENT. 
    • I want to be compassionate becomes I AM COMPASSIONATE. 
    • ​I want to be confident becomes I AM CONFIDENT.  
    • I want to be a better listen becomes I AM AN EXCEPTIONAL LISTENER. 

5. Personal Goals . 

  • This is different than your to-do or to-be list.
  • This is something you’re working towards.
  • Something bigger.
  • Maybe it’s a week from now, a month or 6 months.
  • ​What is one small thing you need to do everyday to turn this personal goal into a reality? 
    • ​​For example, if you're wanting to commit to a daily mediation practice. Can you start with 1 minute a day? Then move to 5? Then 10? Then 15?

6. Business Goals . 

  • Same as above, but relevant to your business (whether you work for yourself or someone else). 
  • Is it to book more dream clients?
  • Is it to finally launch your website? ​
  • Is it to get that promotion you've been working so hard for. 
  • Again, what is one small thing you need to do everyday to turn this business goal into a reality. ​​​
    • For example, if you're wanting to launch your new website in six months, what do you need to do everyday? Write you bio. Schedule a photo shoot. Research graphic designers. 

7. Reconnect to and celebrate yourself each day. 

  • Reconnect with yourself through reviewing your lists and honoring what you've done to bring you closer to where you're doing. Celebrate yourself each step of the way.
  • For example: 
    • Accomplished something on your list? Make your favorite ice coffee. 
    • Really embodied being compassionate and have a story to share? Call a friend and live it out loud. 
    • Received your new logo? Share it with your people.
