109. Gratitude in July & Envisioning August: Embracing your Summer Rituals and Rhythms

109. Gratitude in July & Envisioning August: Embracing your Summer Rituals and Rhythms

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care July 19, 2024 Duration: 26:28

Hey Habit Thrivers, are you in your summer rhythmšŸ˜Ž yet?


I hope so, because now is the time to embracešŸ¤— that rhythm and look forward to the next month, the rest of summer, and the start of fall.


Yes, fall!šŸ


Those of you who are already planners knowšŸ¤” how the process of thinking forward and planning ahead can bring about more adventurešŸ™Œ, engagement, and enjoyment😁 than just letting life ā€œhappenā€ to you.


A planner/tracker isn’t just a tool for busy professionalsšŸ¤“ - anyone from students to parents to retirees can use a planner to make the most of their days, weeks, months, and seasons.🄳


Now you may be saying, ā€œBut, Lorrie, I’m having a great summer. Why would I want to make plans to change that?ā€šŸ™„


You don’t!


Planning ahead doesn’t necessarily mean that you are looking for better.ā˜ļø


You could be planning for more of what you already have!


āœ…More travel

āœ…More family gatherings

āœ…More hunkering down

āœ…More home repairs

āœ…More bucket list items


Or just a balance between being productive and allowing yourself time to rest and rejuvenate.😌


Once you pick up a journaling habit, you can start to use your planner to remind yourself on a yearly basis things you did that you enjoyed or things you missed that you want to try:


⭐A concert or festival

⭐A sporting event

⭐A trip

⭐A class


So think about what you want your theme to be in August, and let’s get planning!🫶
