• Determine your one big area of improvement.

• Think of your BIG why for improving your wellness.

Week 2: Define your long-term goal.

• Which one wellness area is your focus?

• What wellness improvements do you want to make over the next 12 months?

o Make a brainstorm list.
o Prioritize this list.

o Focus on the top priority.

Week 3: Take some time to reflect on your long-term goal.

• How will your wellness improvements make you feel?

• Does it seem achievable for you? If not, scale it back some.
• Set yourself up for success.

• It’s possible by focusing on one area, the other wellness areas receive an indirect benefit.

Week 4: Break down your long-term goal into actionable tasks.

• How can you chunk your 12-month goal into 3-month milestones?

• How can you chunk your 3-month goals into 1-month milestones?

• Now make weekly or daily milestones.

After week 4, you’re ready to put this into action. Keep a journal or some record of your
progress. Write your goal at the top of the page. Include your BIG why. Make bullet points daily

of your progress toward your goal. When you reach your one-year mark, look back through your

journal. What do you notice? What trends or patterns do you see about your wellness and self-
care? Do you need to change those patterns? What habits do you see?
