Checkpoint Week
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:
Exercise:
Physical movement nourishes your body, supports emotional regulation, and connects physical health to mental well-being. When you intentionally move your body — whether through walking, stretching, or other forms of exercise — you help reduce stress, improve mood, and build resilience that supports every other area of your life. Movement is not punishment — it’s care for the one life you get to live.Beginning to Dream:
Taking time to imagine what you want your life to look like — in relationships, purpose, work, health, and spirituality — helps you clarify your values and hopes. We often get so focused on survival that dreaming can feel scary or unrealistic. But beginning to dream is about discovering direction, meaning, and possibilities you may have forgotten or never given yourself permission to consider.Change Your Lens:
The way you see situations, patterns, and yourself influences how you respond to life’s challenges. Learning to shift your perspective, from judgment or fear to curiosity and possibility, opens new pathways for growth. Changing your lens doesn’t mean ignoring reality; it means choosing a frame that empowers you to respond with intention rather than react out of old habits.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.
