Reflecting on Last Month's Wins and Flops [1:58]

For wins, consider what made you feel incredible, such as sticking to workout routines or improving your style. The host shares her personal experience of improving her style for fall, highlighting the Cozy Island shoe brand known for comfortable high heels due to their Airb fabric with 3D air holes. She recommends the Style Switch Stiletto ankle sock boot, the Grace Leaf pointed to mules, and the internal pace diamond pointed toaded heel pumps. For flops, reflect on self-sabotaging behaviours and self-limiting beliefs to understand what held you back.

The host stresses the importance of reflecting on patterns to avoid repeating mistakes. She advises writing down three things learned about yourself, your capabilities, and areas needing improvement. Identifying repeating patterns and self-sabotaging behaviours, such as overspending or negative self-talk, is crucial. Mastering your thoughts leads to mastering your behaviour and showing up as your best self. The host encourages listeners to be comfortable with not everyone approving of their decisions and to focus on being true to themselves.

Self-care is an important part of the monthly reset to avoid burnout.
