Phase 2 (Weeks 5–8): Identity Affirming — We’re back ❤️

Hey everyone,

First, thank you for your patience. I’ve been away handling a family emergency. I’m still navigating it, and I appreciate your grace. I’ll be back posting new content as soon as possible. In the meantime, I want you fully supported for Phase 2 of the 90-Day Challenge.

Where we are in the journey

  • Phase 1 (Weeks 1–4 | Days 1–30): Breaking Patterns
    Awareness Audit (decision/energy/attention), Senses Detox (what you see/hear/feel), and small experiments with AM/PM routines + cutting 1–2 draining things.

  • Phase 2 (Weeks 5–8 | Days 31–60): Identity Affirmingyou’re here

This phase moves you from loving your potential to choosing and living a specific identity. No more “perpetual loading zone.” We pick the bus.

If you fell off, do not start over. Just rejoin. Progress isn’t perfect — it’s real. You still have 70 days until January 1 to change direction and build momentum.

Weeks 5–8: What to do (step-by-step)

Week 5 — Pick the Bus (Identity Decision)

Goal: Move from fantasy to a chosen identity.

  • Action 1: Choose your 2–3 identity labels (e.g., “disciplined creator,” “present friend,” “financially responsible woman”).

  • Action 2 (Prompts):

    • Where do I honestly think I should be in life right now (work, city, income, health)?

    • What is my superpower (the thing I do differently/better than most)?

    • Life script (January 1): Write one page as if it’s January 1 and you’re recapping the last week of the year. What did you do, finish, or change so you entered the new year already in motion?

  • Action 3: Commit to one primary path for the next 60 days (choose the bus). Choosing creates energy.

Week 6 — Self-Expression & Weekly Reset

Goal: Make the identity feel natural in real life.

  • Action 1: Hobbies test. Pick 1–2 hobbies and do them twice this week (identity expression, not productivity).

  • Action 2: Body-feel wardrobe. Dress for your actual body so you feel confident now.

  • **Action 3: Build your Weekly Reset (day + checklist).

    • Example: Sundays = groceries, meal prep, outfit prep, calendar review, room reset, 20-min money check.

  • Keep Phase-1 hygiene: Light senses detox (curate what you see/hear/feel) so inputs match identity.

Week 7 — Inputs, Routines, and Receipts

Goal: Turn identity into measurable inputs.

  • Action 1: Test one morning routine and one night routine (keep them short and repeatable).

  • Action 2: Pick 2 inputs to track all week (e.g., ounces of water + gym sessions; outreach messages + reading minutes).

  • Action 3: Start visual tracking (“receipts”): habit streaks, savings bar, weekly photos/measurements. Proof beats “life dysmorphia.”

Week 8 — Integrate & Lock It In

Goal: Close the loop and set up Phase 3 (Amplify & Measure).

  • Action 1: Environment check. What (people/places/media) supported you? What drained you? Choose 1 to increase and 1 to reduce next month.

  • Action 2: Decision check. Did this week’s choices align with your chosen identity? Note 2 wins and 1 mismatch.

  • **Action 3: 30-Day Carry-Forward Schedule (Days 61–90).
    Write a daily schedule template for the next month (wake time, focus block, workout, content/admin windows, bedtime). This gives you clear expectations — and makes it obvious when you’re off track.

Reflection questions for Phase 2 (use weekly)

  1. Where did old habits try to creep back, and how did I handle them?

  2. How did my environment (people/places/media) support or subtract from me this week?

  3. What tiny tweak will I make next week (sleep, start time, one boundary, one input)?

  4. Do my actions match my chosen identity, not my fantasy?

You don’t need to be perfect — you need to be consistent with the identity you chose. Keep attention on inputs; the outcomes will catch up. Thank you again for your patience while I handle family matters — I’m still in it, but I’m here, and I’ll be back posting new content as soon as possible.

With love & intention,
