5 questions you need to ask yourself before August begins

Hi!

Can you believe it's nearly August?

At the beginning of the month I asked myself how I wanted July to feel. I contemplated this question as if July had already passed. When summer ends, what is it I want to remember about this time?

Do I want to remember being tired, headaches come and headaches go, messy rooms and unticked checklists? Being annoyed at friends only to forgive them once the sting has worn off, rabbit holes and under eye bags?

Or do I want to remember conversations with strangers, morning meditations, learning funny accents? Trying not to get sunburnt as I read in the park, belly breaths and trying something new?

This past month has brought in self-reflection, self-doubt, and growing pains. It hasn’t been a particularly easy month, nor a particularly hard month. Though everything I set out to do at the beginning of this month has unfolded the way that it should. I’m still finding my footing. I’m still learning. Things aren’t perfect, but they will never be, and for that I am grateful.

So, for August I’ve gathered 5 questions to consider before the month begins:

  1. What were some of your small wins in the past month? For example, did you reach out to someone when you were struggling? Did you try something new? Did you trust your gut? Etc.

  2. What was a challenge you had in the past month? How have you overcome it, or are you still working through it?

  3. What are you manifesting for August?

  4. What are you leaving behind in July?

  5. What are 3 things you’d like to open your heart to in August?

Let me know how these go for you. Looking forward to seeing what August has in store for us.

With love,
Emily

golden hour in July
-
my hair feathers your shoulders as we embrace
sun drenched at 6:46
the bluebirds sing for us
we haven't always been easy
but now the afternoon breeze whispers otherwise
