Home Exercise
Ok, fess up, did you do your homework last week?
This week is all about sustainability. How are we going to set ourselves up for success? Pick one thing Zack and I talked about this week (developing a system, journaling, meditation, etc) that would help you in reaching your goal, and block out space in your calendar this week to do that one thing, or at least get started doing it.
Previous Week’s Home Exercises

Week 2: Think about what you need for your happiness and well-being. Consider what happiness achieving your goal will bring you. Write down your goal, and why you want it (Accountability).
