Wondering, how can you make the best out of the new month? Apart from planning our daily activities, there is so much more that goes into having an organized month. Practicing New month journal prompt is the best way to deeply reflect on your past and create vision for the New Month!

This post may contain affiliate links, which means I’ll receive a commission if you purchase through my link, at no extra cost to you. Please read full disclosure here.

We often set new goals for the new year and after a few months we leave them

why?

Because it feels overwhelming as they are not micro-detailed!

Whereas, If you could take day 1 of a new month to answer a few questions that help you reflect, question, and plan your new month for success…

How great would that be?

Not only it will be less overwhelming and detailed, It will make you feel relaxed too! Because, you now already know what exactly you did wrong and what you should be focusing on next month

It gives more room for correcting mistakes you made in the previous month without having a huge impact on your goal!

5. What is my Intention for New Month?

Now moving ahead, What is your Intention for the next month, This intention will be the main focus throughout the whole month and will be set as your main priority.

For example – Making time to spend alone, or being disciplined or grateful are some of the intentions that people set. Your intention will be what you want to focus on, so think about it and choose.

6. Goals I want to achieve this month

Apart from our intention- which is mainly the theme of the month, Wrote down goals you want to achieve. Make sure that they are small and realistic, i.e- achievable within a month.

From personal, health, relationships and career – write a maximum of 3 achievable goals

9. What Do I need more of in this month?

Even though we think and plan out everything, there is always something that may feel empty or need our attention. Maybe last month you did not get enough rest or me-time, a day out with friends? and so on. This month you can give yourself exactly that!
