Reset & Realign

Use the Quest tracker as a supportive tool — to congratulate yourself for simply engaging with the practice — not as a scorecard for measuring 'success' or 'accomplishment'.

Before you jump into food or movement, take a few quiet minutes to set an intention for this Quest.

This isn’t about defining an outcome or deciding what needs to change.
It’s about naming how you want to be with yourself as you move through the steps.

You might like to journal on one or more of these prompts:

• What do I need more of right now as I reset and realign?
• How do I want to feel as I move through this Quest?
• What would it look like to approach this process with gentleness?

👉 These reflections can take as little as 5 minutes

👉 There’s no right way to reflect. What matters is creating a little space to notice what’s already there.

💡 If you don't already have one, now's the time to invest in a great journal. I get all of my paper journals here. If you prefer to go paperless, try this great journaling app which I've been using happily for many years.

You might:

• send a quick message sharing what you’re doing
• check in with each other once a week
• cook one recipe or do one movement practice together

In community, what once seemed impossible, doesn’t feel quite as hard!

To gently anchor your intention in the body, choose one small action this week.

Use the Quest tracker as a supportive tool — to congratulate yourself for simply engaging with the practice — not as a scorecard for measuring 'success' or 'accomplishment'.

This practice is all about experimentation. It's about trying thing something — anything!— and noticing what feels good.

Many of us have health and well-being goals — things we think we want to do or feel like we should be doing. But I'm going to invite you to do something different. Instead of starting there, you’re invited to begin where you already have a little energy, curiosity, or openness.

To figure out what that might be, try reflecting on one or more of these questions in your journal:

• How would I like today to feel in my body?
• What feels most doable for me right now when it comes to food or movement?
• Where do I already have a little momentum — even if it’s imperfect or inconsistent?
• If I were to choose one small thing to try, what would it be?

👉 These reflections can take as little as 5 minutes

👉 There’s no right way to reflect. What matters is creating a little space to notice what’s already there.

You’re invited to choose one small action.

You're not trying to overhaul your routine, or to do anything perfectly or even consistently.

Right now, it's about trying one thing and noticing how it feels.

Use the Quest tracker as a supportive tool — to congratulate yourself for simply engaging with the practice — not as a scorecard for measuring 'success' or 'accomplishment'.

This step is all about showing up, even when the initial spark fades. Even when you feel like you have too many things on your plate.

Showing up over and over again, even when you don't feel like it, is how consistency grows, how habits are built.

This step isn't about figuring out how to motivate yourself to do something you don't like or that doesn't feel good. It's about peeling back the layers and uncovering what gets in the way of you doing something that's good for you and that you also want to do.

In this practice, I invite you to reflect on what would make consistency possible for you and what stands in the way:

• What usually happens after the excitement of starting something new wears off?
• When I don’t feel like doing the thing, what story do I tell myself?
• What makes it easier for me to follow through, even on low-energy days?
• Where in my life am I already consistent — and what supports that?
• What would gentle, sustainable consistency look like right now as I reset and realign if I were kind rather than rigid?

👉 There’s no right way to reflect. What matters is creating a little space to notice what’s already there.

For this step, you’re invited to choose one small action — either a movement practice or making a meal — and repeating it at least twice this week.

Instead of trying something once and moving on, see what happens when you return to it.

Try it twice — and notice how it feels the second time around.

A This Life is Good Quest is a focused, guided period of practice — lasting anywhere from one day to a few weeks — designed to help you experiment with habits, mindsets, and practices that support a happy, healthy, meaningful, and energized life.

Each Quest:

• has a clear theme and intention
• unfolds gently step by step
• offers structure without rigidity
• invites depth without overwhelm

Quests are designed to meet you where you are. You don’t need to complete everything. You don’t need to keep up. And you don’t need to engage in the same way every day or every week.

Instead, think of a Quest as a journey of discovery — one that offers:

• gentle structure
• thoughtful prompts
• supportive practices
• and space to notice what matters

There is no “right” way to do a Quest.

The invitation is to go on the journey and return — again and again — to intention, reflection, awareness, and practice.

A Quest unfolds step by step. Each step has a suggested rhythm, offered as guidance rather than obligation.

The details for each step will be posted here on this page. To follow along, simply return at the start of each day or week to see what’s been added.

For each step, you’ll find:

• an outline of that step's theme and an invitation
• links to any accompanying reflections or posts
• access to Quest resources, where applicable

If a Quest tracker is included, you’ll be able to download it and use it in whatever way feels supportive — whether that’s marking the days / weeks you engaged, making notes, or simply keeping it as a gentle reference.

If a video is included in the Quest, for example, a movement practice video:

• We'll link to the page where it will be embedded.
• Simply log in to play the video when it suits you.
• You can follow along in real time or return to it later — there’s no set schedule and no expectation to complete every session.
• The videos — and in particular the movement practices — are offered as support, not obligation. They are there for you to use in whatever way feels most helpful in this season.

Set aside a few quiet minutes to reflect and write, when you don't feel rushed or under pressure. (First thing in the morning or before bed at night work well for many people). This can take as little as five minutes. The intention isn’t to analyze or judge — simply to notice. Let this be a gentle check-in with yourself, guided by curiosity rather than criticism. If it helps, take a few slow breaths before you begin, and remind yourself: "This reflection is here to support me, not to evaluate or judge me".

A simple Quest tracker is included so you can mark the days you engaged with this week’s reflection. Use it as a supportive tool — to congratulate yourself for simply engaging with the practice — not as a scorecard for measuring 'success' or 'accomplishment'.
