That’s where a full life reset comes in.

Why You Need a Life Reset
In a 2022 survey by the American Psychological Association, 77% of women reported experiencing high stress due to juggling family, career, and personal responsibilities.
Combine that with the digital overload of modern life, and it’s no wonder burnout is on the rise.
Here’s the truth: without intentional reflection and alignment, it’s easy to get stuck on autopilot—living out old patterns that no longer serve you.
A life reset process allows you to:
Release what is draining you: habits, beliefs, or even toxic routines.
Reframe your vision: gain clarity on what you truly want.
Rebuild with purpose: create systems that support your identity, goals, and lifestyle.
Step 1: Reflect (Audit Your Current Reality)
Before hitting reset, you need clarity on what’s working and what’s not. Think of this as your life audit.
Ask yourself:
What daily habits drain me versus fuel me?
Where am I misaligned with my values?
Which areas of my life feel neglected (career, health, relationships, faith)?
Try using the Life Audit journal page that’s in the God, Goals, Grind Planner for this step. It helps you gain clarity, track patterns, and dig deep into your mindset.
Pro tip: Journaling is scientifically proven to reduce stress and increase clarity.
A University of Texas study found expressive writing boosts emotional well-being and even physical health.
Step 2: Release (Let Go of Old Patterns)
Resetting your life means releasing what no longer serves you. This could be:
Perfectionism that keeps you paralyzed.
Relationships that drain your energy.
Habits like scrolling late at night instead of resting. (guilty!)
Psychologists call this cognitive offloading—removing the mental clutter so your brain can focus on what matters.
A practical strategy:
Declutter one space (your desk, closet, or even your digital inbox).
Unsubscribe from 5 newsletters or apps that don’t add value.
Say no to commitments misaligned with your goals.
Step 3: Redefine (Set Intentional Goals)
Here’s where most women go wrong: setting vague goals like “get healthier” or “be more organized”.
Data and personal experience show that specific, measurable goals increase achievement rates by 42% (Dominican University, Dr. Gail Matthews).
Instead, use the SMART + Faith Aligned Framework:
Specific: Define the exact outcome.
Measurable: Attach a metric.
Aligned: Ensure it fits your values and faith.
Realistic: Make it achievable in your current season.
Time-Bound: Set a deadline.
Example:
“By December, I will complete a 30-day gratitude journaling challenge to strengthen my faith and mental clarity.”
This is where the God, Goals, Grind Goal-Setting Planner shines.
With quarterly templates, reflection pages, goal tracking pages, and brain dump sections, and so much more, it turns goals into systems—so you don’t just set them, you achieve them.
Step 4: Realign (Create Systems for Balance)
Your reset won’t stick if you don’t build systems.
James Clear once said:
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
Strategic reset systems include:
Morning Routine Reset: 3 non-negotiables (prayer, movement, planning).
Weekly Reset Ritual: A Sunday night reflection using your planner.
Monthly Reset: Set priorities, review wins, and course-correct.
These systems anchor you so life doesn’t pull you off track.
Step 5: Recommit (Embody the Identity of “Her”
Becoming “her” isn’t about chasing perfection—it’s about committing to small, aligned actions daily.
Psychologists call this identity-based habit building: acting as the woman you want to be, today.
Want to be a confident leader? Speak up in meetings, even if your voice shakes
Want to be healthier? Choose water over soda—at least once a day.
Want to be spiritually grounded? Start with a two-minute prayer.
Each choice casts a vote for the identity you’re building.
Book Recommendation
Resetting your life isn’t just about changing habits—it’s about building inner strength to release expectations, heal from past wounds, and step into your most authentic identity.
That takes courage, vulnerability, and a willingness to rise even when it feels hard.
Two books I highly recommend for this part of your journey are:
Glennon’s words will ignite a fire in you to break free from old rules, toxic patterns, and the pressure to please everyone else.
This book is raw, unapologetic, and a powerful reminder that becoming “her” means trusting your voice, your desires, and your truth.
“The Gifts of Imperfection” by Brené Brown
Brené’s research-driven insights show us how to let go of perfectionism and embrace the strengths in vulnerability.
If you’ve ever felt “not enough”, this book will help you reconnect with your worth and build the emotional resilience to realign your life.
Pair either of these books with your Chapters of Growth Reading Journal, and you’ll not only read the wisdom—you’ll process it, apply it, and start transforming your identity day by day.
