Start Day with Intention
The women in my group coaching program, The Modern Woman Life Edit, have been on a journey to edit their lives - from the inside out. It's been an incredible honor to watch the transformations occur in their lives week after week. This journal contains a few of the prompts I've provided in the first module of the program to help these incredible women gain clarity over what they truly desire, create more mental peace in their lives, and access their inner wisdom within. The prompts below are part of the edit process…an opportunity for a re-evaluation, to notice where your life is right now, and then make a conscious decision to move forward in a way that feels aligned.
who is your next-level self?
Visualize the woman you've always aspired to become – your next-level self. This version of you exists within, unburdened by societal pressures or external expectations. Reflect on who you were before the world shaped your identity. Embrace the version of you who exudes self-worth, who lives fulfilled and aligned. The following prompts provide a compass to unveil your next-level self:
My next-level self loves
My next-level self is driven by
My next-level self is happiest when
My next-level self implements these habits
My next-level self will one day
My next-level self believes she is
My next-level self desires
My next-level self has the following goal(s)
CREATE SPACE in your life
Sometimes less is actually more. Sometimes in order to call in more of what your next-level self desires, you must first create space in your life...energetically, mentally, environmentally, physically, etc. Using the exercise below, reflect on what is no longer in alignment with your next-level self. Decide what you would like to give up, simplify, delegate, or let go so you can make space for what's most meaningful. These things could be beliefs, behaviors, habits, routines, etc.
Personal Growth
Career
Romance
Health + Wellness
Finances
Friends + Family
Spirituality
Fun + Leisure
Core Value exploration
Values are the principles and beliefs you live by; they reflect what is most meaningful and important to you. When you live in a way that's in alignment with your next-level self, you will attract more of what you want and feel more in flow, satisfied, and fulfilled. Use the following questions to reflect on your values.
What does your next-level self care about most?
What is most important to your next-level self?
Where does your next-level self invest most of their time and energy?
What drives most of your next level-self's decisions?
ALIGNING IT ALL
Each time you fall into habits or routines that don't reflect your next-level self or values, notice them without judgment and then write in a notebook what you'd like to do moving forward. This process trains your brain to notice things that you no longer desire as well as areas where you want to make edits. This is called pattern interrupting. In addition to writing the things you want to change, write down what your next-level self would have done instead.
For example, if you have a habit of hitting snooze, but you dislike that because you know your next-level self would wake up earlier to focus on nourishing self-care, you could write: “I snoozed today. What my next-level self would have done is gone to bed earlier and woken up when the alarm went off the first time. My next-level self believes she is capable of waking up early and knows she will feel amazing when she wakes up with the alarm." Then you could turn this into a powerful affirmation that you can practice. For example: “I wake up energized and ready to start the day when the alarm goes off!”
A final note
Embracing discomfort to uncover your next-level self may seem daunting, but what's more uncomfortable than feeling stagnant and misaligned in life? The journey within invites you to reclaim your sense of purpose, empowering you to step confidently onto the path of your desires.
Let these prompts be your guideposts, steering you toward a life filled with intention, purpose, and joy. Your next-level journey starts with your willingness to explore, reflect, and transform.
