You may have seen that last week we launched the Goal-Setting Workbook. Let’s take a page from the book and dive into the work of aligning your mindset and actions with your goals.
We’ll explore how you can use this powerful tool to create more balance and accountability in your life.
My hope is that you make space in your week to truly sit with the question below.
Why?
A lot of my external growth—managing a business, raising four children, and finding success in my professional life—happened when I took my internal growth seriously.
Balancing these responsibilities requires more than just structure; it demands intentionality, self-awareness, and, most importantly, alignment. I like to refer to it as, “clicking in”—that feeling when you start living a life that feels more in sync with who you are and who you aspire to be.
Accountability
Signs you are out of alignment:
- A general feeling that things are “off”
- IAnxiety and feeling unsettled
- Loss of spark
- More friction in everyday activities
- Increased numbing behaviors like zoning out or procrastination
It’s easy to get overwhelmed when you’re wearing so many hats, but alignment and mindset are key. The exercises below are tools I personally use to stay grounded amidst the chaos of running a business and raising a family. They’ve become my lighthouse to ensure I’m always steering in the right direction.
Aspiration
Set aside 10–20 minutes. Grab some paper, find a quiet spot, and let’s dive in.
The question I use to “click back in” when I feel out of alignment.
Question: What’s my perfect day?
Story time: As a business owner and mother of four, it’s easy to get swept up in the daily grind. But I realized that unless I define what truly makes me happy, I’ll just be spinning my wheels. So I set out to imagine my “perfect day.” What would it look like if I could control every element, from the morning I wake up to the moment I go to bed?
Start by asking yourself these questions:
- What does your bedroom look like when you wake up?
- What’s the weather like outside?
- What are the first smells you encounter?
- What do you eat?
- Who do you spend time with?
- How do you spend your day?
Write down as many details as you can. The more vivid, the better.
Once you’ve taken the time to define your perfect day, here’s the follow-up question:
Does the path I’m on get me closer to my perfect day?
Ambition
The process of balancing my family and business while also striving for growth wasn’t (ISN’T) always easy, but defining my perfect day and continually working toward it makes a huge difference. I learned that when you make space for what you truly want, it becomes easier to align your actions to achieve it.
Now that you’ve imagined your perfect day, ask yourself: How does your current life compare to that vision? Is your present path getting you closer to your perfect day, or is it pulling you further away from it? What actions can you take today to align more with that ideal vision?
As you reflect on your perfect day and assess how aligned your current life is with that vision, remember that clarity is key to making meaningful progress.
That’s why I created the Goal-Setting Workbook—to help you take these insights and turn them into actionable steps. It’s designed to guide you through defining your goals, shifting your mindset, and building accountability into your daily routine.
Whether you’re balancing the demands of running a business, raising a family, or pursuing personal growth, this workbook is a powerful tool to keep you on track and “clicked in” to the life you truly want to live.
