Checkpoint Week: Pause, Reflect, and Recommit
This checkpoint week is a space to intentionally pause before moving forward. The purpose is to deepen reflection on the previous courses, strengthen accountability, and ensure the practices you are building are becoming part of your everyday life — not just ideas that can easily become looked over.
Before continuing, it’s important to recognize that real growth happens through ongoing reflection and accountability. Awareness is not a one-time step; it’s a practice that must be revisited regularly in order to create lasting change.
Take time today to reflect on why the following areas matter in your life:
Budgeting:
Understanding your finances helps reduce stress, increase stability, and create freedom to make intentional choices. When you are aware of where your money is going, you are better equipped to plan for needs, prepare for unexpected situations, and align your spending with your values and goals rather than reacting out of urgency or pressure.Self-Care:
Caring for yourself emotionally, physically, and mentally is essential for sustainability, healing, and healthy decision-making. Self-care is about consistently meeting your basic needs, so you have the capacity to show up fully, manage stress, and respond to life with clarity rather than burnout.Habits & Patterns:
Recognizing repeated behaviors allows you to identify what supports your growth and what may be holding you back. By becoming aware of patterns in your thoughts, actions, and responses, you gain the opportunity to make intentional changes instead of operating on autopilot.Reflection helps you see where you’ve been, and accountability helps you stay committed to where you’re going. Today is about honoring the work you’ve already done and recommitting to these practices with intentionality.
