Week One — Noticing Rhythm
Focus: recognizing, not changing
Keep
What felt most calming or most aligned with my rhythm this week?
Release
What did I do out of habit or expectation, not from a conscious choice?
Gratitude
One simple moment this week that made me feel “enough.”
This week’s tone:
Nothing needs fixing. Just noticing.
Week Two — Protecting Energy
Focus: energy, not outcomes
Keep
Which activities, attitudes, or decisions helped keep my energy intact?
Release
What quietly drained my energy, even though it seemed small?
Gratitude
One small thing that made my body or mind feel a little lighter.
This week’s tone:
Energy is more valuable than busyness.
Week Three — Simplifying
Focus: reducing with intention
Keep
What simple thing is already enough, yet I often overlook it?
Release
Which expectations—my own or others’—no longer need to be carried?
Gratitude
One form of simplicity that felt soothing this week.
This week’s tone:
Life doesn’t always need more.
Week Four — Accepting
Focus: making peace, not controlling
Keep
Which attitude or understanding do I want to carry into the weeks ahead?
Release
What am I not ready to change—and can accept as it is, for now?
Gratitude
One part of myself I can meet more gently today.
This week’s tone:
Not everything has to be resolved right now.
Closing Note
These four weeks are not meant to change your life.
They are simply an invitation to pause and see more clearly.
If after one month life feels even slightly more aware,
that is enough.
