\u00a0 8. Who and what are taking away my energy?
\u00a0 9. What course corrections (if any) do I need to make for the upcoming month?<\/p><\/div>
Can you see how this exercise would be helpful to do every month?<\/p>
Epic Tip<\/strong>: Time block this off in your calendar at the end of every month. When you do this, you are more likely to actually do it.<\/p>I\u2019ve been following this reflection practice over the last couple of years and it\u2019s been a complete Game Changer for me.<\/p>
Give it a try. Let me know how you do with it.<\/p>
Hope this was helpful for you. Give it a share with anyone that you feel could benefit from it.<\/p>
I\u2019d love to hear what you think about this… comment below!<\/p>
