Check-In, Don’t Check Out: A Monthly Self-Audit for Women on the Go ✅

Life moves fast, especially for women juggling careers, families, & personal ambitions. It’s easy to get caught in the current, feeling like you’re constantly reacting rather than intentionally creating your life. But what if you could press pause, just for a moment each month, to ensure you're still heading in the direction you truly desire?

At Intentionally Evolve, we believe in the power of conscious living, intentional living. That's why we're introducing a simple yet profound practice: the Monthly Self-Audit. This isn't another item on your to-do list; it's an opportunity to check in with yourself, recalibrate, & ensure your actions align with your deepest values & goals.

Your Monthly Self-Audit: A Journal-Based Reflection

This practice is designed to be personal & flexible, using a journal as your guide. Think of it as a dedicated "you time" — a quiet space to reflect on the past month & intentionally plan for the next.

Here’s how to get started:

* Find Your Sanctuary: Choose a time & place where you won't be interrupted. Brew a cup of tea, light a candle – make it an inviting ritual. It's imperative to set the mood so you can really focus on the task at hand. The candlelight & some relaxing music always does the trick for me.

* Reflect & Release: Open your journal & start by looking back at the past month. I have so many journals that I look back on occasionally, & it tells a tale of someone who has evolved so much & slayed a lot of dragons along the way. You really don't think about how far you've come on a regular basis, but you should start.

Ask yourself the following questions:

   * What went well? What were your wins, big or small?

   * What challenges did you face? How did you navigate them?

   * What lessons did you learn?

   * What are you ready to let go of? (It could be a worry, a bad habit, or an unfulfilled expectation.)

* Align & Intend: Now, shift your focus to the month ahead & answer the following:

   * What are your top priorities for the coming weeks, in different areas of your life (work, relationships, well-being, personal growth)?

   * How do these align with your long-term vision & values?

   * What small, intentional steps can you take to move closer to your goals?

   * What kind of energy do you want to cultivate this month?

This monthly self-audit is your secret weapon against burnout & overwhelm. It’s about being proactive, not reactive. It’s about ensuring that while you're conquering your daily tasks, you’re also nourishing your soul & building the life you truly want.

Now it may take you a nice amount of time to complete, but be honest with yourself & let your pen do the talking. You can do this in small sections or push through the entire exercise. But, if you're short on time, shoot us a message or comment on this post. We have a shorter version that is just as effective.
