✨ How I’m Resetting My Life This August (Routines, Goals & Vibes)
There’s something magical about August.
It’s still technically summer—but you can feel fall whispering in the distance. It’s that beautiful in-between space where we start craving structure again, craving something fresh, something intentional. And for me, that means a full-on life reset.
If you’ve been feeling a little out of rhythm lately (same), then August is your perfect chance to start again. Not in a dramatic “new me” kind of way, but in a soft, slow, nurturing way.
So here's how I’m resetting my life this month—with routines, goals, and vibes that feel good.

☀️ Morning Routine: Romanticizing the Everyday
My goal isn’t perfection—it’s presence.
Here’s what I’m slowly building into my mornings this month:
Wake up earlier (even just 15–20 min before I “have to”)
Skincare + a big glass of water
Stretch or slow movement
Prayer, journaling, or scripture reading
Sit outside for 5 minutes before screens
Just doing two of these each morning makes a difference. The point is to start my day on my terms—not Instagram’s.
📝 Daily Intentions: Tiny but Mighty
Rather than overwhelming to-do lists, I’m trying this instead:
1 thing for my mind (read, learn something new)
1 thing for my body (walk, stretch, hydrate)
1 thing for my soul (pray, rest, connect)
1 thing for my future (side hustle, saving, small step)
These categories keep me grounded and balanced without burnout.
🧼 Weekly Reset Rituals
Every Sunday (or whatever day works for you), I’m doing a weekly reset that includes:
Light cleaning (laundry, vacuum, fresh sheets)
Planning out meals + grocery list
Reviewing last week (what worked, what didn’t)
Setting 3 main goals for the week ahead
Choosing a vibe or word of the week (mine this week: intentional)
I light a candle, play some chill music, and make it feel like self-care—because it is.
🎯 August Goals (Soft & Supportive)
Instead of big, scary goals, I’m setting intentions like:
Finish one book
Move my body 3x per week
Put $50 into savings
Try one new recipe
Stay off my phone the first hour of the day
Focus on progress, not perfection
Little habits, done consistently, change everything.
💐 The Vibe: Clean Slate, Clear Mind
August is my gentle nudge to come home to myself.
To rest and re-align. To romanticize the structure I used to resist.
To do things that future-me will thank me for.
If you’re resetting this August too, I’m cheering you on. You don’t need a whole new life—just a fresh way of approaching the one you already have.
Your turn!
