Each month I start with a perfect day exercise. As a long term journaler, I believe in the power of the pen and the power of envisioning what you want through expressing my desires on paper. One of the keys to a perfect day is to write it as if it were already true.
When I write about my perfect day I like to have meditated and journaled so that whatever needs to come out can and I am a clean slate and an open channel for what I need to express.
I place my trust in what needs to be written rather than forcing it. This quote comes to mind as I consider my perfect day.
You’re not always going to have a perfect day. You’re not always going to have the day that you envision.
Baker Mayfield
With the best will in the world these things don’t always come off, because not everything we want is what we need. And, of course, stuff happens that takes us off course. However, by writing about your day and allowing your imagination to play and be creative you are opening up to opportunities that you may otherwise miss in your busy life.
Affirm your perfect day
Today I am enjoying envisioning my perfect day
Write about your perfect day. Write it as if it were already here. When you have written it, leave it for a day to reflect. It is important that you bring this activity alive and make your experience of your perfect day as rich as possible.

What do you want to achieve this month?
My perfect day also shows me what goals I want to achieve for that month which helps me to focus on the actions I need to take. I make sure I check in with my heart, gut and head when it comes to planning out that action.
Your action plan
After refection pick the project that you are going to work on and write up an action plan with tasks, milestones, resources and rewards.
What is the first thing that you are going to do? And the next and the next? What can you get done today that will make this a reality?
Remember that this needs to align with your brand and business, unless this is a personal project.
