You tossed pebbles into the pond and watched the ripples widen. Now comes the real question: Then what...?
April is for the unglamorous but vital work of staying in motion—especially when the initial excitement fades (as it always does). Momentum isn't about grand gestures; it's the daily micro-actions that keep your ripples moving outward. This month, we honor the power of showing up, even when no one's watching.
What’s one daily action that feels insignificant but actually creates compounding change?
Where have you already maintained momentum longer than you expected? What made that possible?
What’s the smallest version of your goal that would still feel like progress?
Who quietly models consistency for you? How could you acknowledge their influence?
If your progress this month were a season, would it be steady spring rain or a sudden summer storm? Why?
What’s ready to be released, like falling leaves, to lighten your momentum?
Ripple Challenge of the Month: The 2% Shift - choose one area (health, creativity, relationships) and add a 2% action - so small it feels effortless.
(Examples: Text a friend every Tuesday. Floss one tooth. Open your notebook and stare at it for 30 seconds. Add 5 more minutes to your stretching exercise.
How does this tiny expansion shift things?
