How to Reflect on Your Month (Without the Pressure!)
As May wraps up, we’re continuing our journey down the Health and Wellness Pathway—this time with a focus on consistency in movement and building strength at home. It hasn’t been about perfection; it’s been about showing up, pivoting when needed, and learning along the way.
During our TikTok Live, we took a fresh approach to the monthly reflection prompts, offering creative ways to dig into each question. If you haven’t reflected yet, here’s a guide you can follow, along with examples to spark your own answers.
🌀 1. In general, how did you feel?
Try this: Think in metaphors.
“If this month were a weather report, what kind of weather would it be and why?”
Look back on your mood tracker or weekly summaries.
Example:
“I’d say partly cloudy with bursts of sunshine. Some days I felt strong and in rhythm with my movement routine. Other days, I felt a bit off or tired—but there were enough bright spots to keep me going.”
✨ 2. What were your favorite moments? Why?
Try this: List your Top 3. It doesn’t have to be grand—it just has to be meaningful.
Example:
1. One More Chapter Book Club – it was intimate and inspiring.
2. Doing yard work on Mother’s Day – such a peaceful joy.
3. Memorial Day Sunday – a relaxing BBQ with family.
🧠 3. What did you learn?
Try this: Use the "I used to think ___, but now I know ___" format.
Example:
“I used to think I had to go all-in with a routine to see progress. But now I know consistency—even if imperfect—still builds strength and confidence. Listening to my body is part of the journey.”
📖 4. What were the most challenging aspects of your month?
Try this: Use a storytime approach and connect it back to your umbrella goals.
Example:
“The second week of May, I was slammed with work and missed three workouts in a row. Instead of spiraling, I gave myself grace and just committed to walking the next day. That reset helped me get back into it without guilt.”
🧭 5. Reflect on this month’s pathway focus.
Try this: Compare then vs. now.
Example:
“When May started, I felt ready to take the next step beyond walks. Now, I feel proud for at least trying to build strength at home—even if some weeks were spotty. It’s a new layer to my health journey.”
📅 6. Reflect on your monthly and weekly action items.
Try this: Use a mental progress bar.
Example:
“I’d give myself a 7 out of 10. I was consistent with walking, but strength workouts were hit-or-miss. I realized I do better when I schedule them, not just hope they happen.”
🔭 7. Reflect on your umbrella goal progress.
Try this: Zoom out. Imagine reviewing your progress as a coach.
Example:
“I’d say I’m building a foundation. Even if it’s not perfect, I’m showing up—and that counts. The goal isn’t to be flawless; it’s to keep choosing myself.”
🎯 8. What changes, if any, will you make toward reaching your goals next month?
Try this: Use a “one thing” strategy.
Example:
“I want to create a mini strength routine I can do in 15 minutes—no overthinking, no equipment stress. Just simple movement I can commit to three times a week.”
Final Thoughts
Monthly reflections are more than a checklist—they're a conversation with yourself. By giving space to what worked, what didn’t, and what’s next, you’re building something powerful: intentional growth.
Let’s carry this momentum into June. Keep moving, keep reflecting, and most of all—keep choosing yourself.
