Your Inspired Goals Workshop

A Mid-Year Reset for Clarity, Purpose & Meaningful Action with Lynda Monk

Thursday, July 16, 2026
1:00 PM – 3:00 PM PST
Live Online Workshop

Pause Mid-Year. Reconnect With What Truly Matters.

Halfway through the year is the perfect time to slow down, reflect, and realign with the life you genuinely want to create.

If your goals have started to feel heavy, pressured, overwhelming, or disconnected from your heart, this workshop offers a different approach.

In this warm, guided, and experiential online workshop, you will learn how to create inspired goals – goals rooted in meaning, values, intuition, creativity, and inner alignment rather than pressure, perfectionism, or external expectations.

Through reflective journaling exercises, guided prompts, meaningful conversation, and gentle self-inquiry, you will reconnect with what matters most and leave with renewed clarity and practical next steps for the months ahead.

This is not about pushing harder. It’s about listening deeper.

What Are Inspired Goals?

Inspired goals arise from who you truly are and who you are becoming.

Unlike traditional goals that are often driven by “shoulds,” productivity pressure, or comparison, inspired goals are connected to:

  • Your values
  • Your inner wisdom
  • Your well-being
  • Your creativity
  • Your deeper desires
  • The life you want to feel and experience

Inspired goals help you move forward with greater clarity, motivation, authenticity, and self-trust.

In This 2-Hour Experiential Workshop, You Will:

✔ Explore the difference between inspired goals and conventional goal-setting

✔ Reflect on where you are now and what is calling for attention in your life

✔ Use guided journaling practices to clarify meaningful intentions for the rest of the year

✔ Learn how journaling can help you define, deepen, and take action on your goals

✔ Identify practical next steps that feel aligned and sustainable

✔ Connect with yourself in a deeper way through reflective writing and guided exercises

✔ Experience the support and inspiration of other journal writers who live with meaningful goals leading the way!

  • You feel ready for a meaningful mid-year reset
  • You want your goals to feel more authentic and aligned
  • You are craving clarity, inspiration, or renewed direction
  • You love journaling, reflection, and personal growth
  • You want to reconnect with your inner voice and wisdom

A Guided & Interactive Experience
