Think about a goal or aspiration that is meaningful to you. Reflect on it step by step to break it down into smaller, actionable parts:

• Identify Your Goal or Aspiration: What is something you want to achieve in your life? Why is this important to you?

• Define a Specific Goal: What is a clear, measurable outcome you can work toward that aligns with this aspiration?

• Break It Into Milestones: What intermediate steps can you use to track progress toward your goal?

• Focus on Habits: What consistent behaviors or routines will help you reach those milestones?
