Start Your Day with Purpose

Morning Self-Reflection:

What are my top three priorities today?
What excites me most about what I can accomplish today?
What specific actions will help me achieve my priorities?
What potential obstacles might arise, and how can I avoid or overcome them?
How will I feel once I’ve accomplished today’s goals?
In what ways will completing these priorities positively impact my day or life?

Midday Check-In: Staying on Track

Afternoon Self-Reflection:

How am I progressing with today’s priorities?
What adjustments do I need to make to stay focused?
Who or what can I reach out to for support if needed?
What can I celebrate so far today? (Take a moment to acknowledge progress or joy.)

Ending the Day with Gratitude

Evening Self-Reflection:

What did I accomplish today?
What do I want to focus on tomorrow?
What changes can I make to improve tomorrow’s success?
What wins can I celebrate from today? (Recognize progress or moments of happiness.)

Challenging Limiting Thoughts

When negative thoughts arise, pause and ask yourself:

Where did that thought come from?
Is this a fact or just an opinion?
If it's an opinion, what is the real truth?
If it’s a fact, is it from the past? What word reflects how I’m overcoming it?

Often, negative self-talk is a lie you’ve grown to believe. Take a moment to challenge that falsehood and replace it with the truth. By doing so, you’ll create space for personal growth and empowerment.
