There’s something about turning the calendar to a new month that feels like a fresh start.And October especially feels that way to me.A new season. Cooler weather. Different rhythms.Maybe even an invitation to ask: What wants more room in my life right now?I’ve been thinking about that question as I’ve been creating 7 Days to Build Your Next Chapter, a free guided experience I’ll be sharing soon.One of the practices inside it is something I’m calling a Flow Journal.The idea is simple:Pay attenti
