The monthly review is a short ritual designed to help you assess all the data you have collected about yourself in the month gone by, in order to gently nudge your existing routines and rituals towards betterment by considering how you feel from one month to the next.

You see it is so easy to choose NOT to be mindful about the way we are living on a day to day basis: to watch our blood pressure creeping ever higher or to ignore the impact a few weeks of dreadful eating has on our self-esteem, but when we are living an examined life, we are actively choosing to do better, month in and month out and this can make a huge impression on the way we live and how we feel about who we are becoming.

So each month use the worksheets here to collate the information you have noted about your wellbeing in your daily morning scans, and use it to identify patterns and set new goals.

 While it may at first seem uncomfortable to be quite so forensic about the life you lead, over time you will be grateful for a ritual that actively encourages you to understand yourself better and to set meaningful goals in manageable four week sprints of enthusiasm and commitment.

For above all else, commitment to our own betterment truly matters doesn't it?
