I love reading & I love art. I also track a lot of my habits & progress. It has helped me so much & I hope this will help you too. Just check each box per day of reading.

Four questions. Four months. One intention: to become more conscious of the life you are creating.

I designed this calendar as more than a way to keep track of dates.

It is a small daily practice inspired by Joe Dispenza's work on intention, emotional rehearsal and becoming familiar with a future self, together with the ancient wisdom traditions of King Solomon and Kabbalah.

The principle is simple:

What you repeatedly give your attention to, you give energy to.

Kabbalah calls attention and directed intention kavanah—bringing consciousness and intention into an act. Its mystical tradition also describes the Sefirot, ten divine qualities or channels through which the Infinite becomes expressed in the world.

And Solomon offers perhaps the greatest question of all:

What is worth asking for?

When God offered Solomon whatever he desired, he asked first for wisdom and discernment—not wealth or power.

So use these four months as a progression.

SEPTEMBER

What is truly worth my attention?

Begin with Kavanah.

Where your attention goes, your inner world follows.

Notice what you are feeding with your time, thoughts and emotions.

Choose deliberately.

OCTOBER

What is the price of the life I desire?

Desire requires capacity.

Ask yourself what your future self must learn, surrender or embody.

Don't only visualize the destination.

Become familiar with the person who can live there.

NOVEMBER

What shall I build?

This is the movement from intention into form.

In Kabbalistic thought, divine qualities move toward manifestation; the spiritual becomes expressed through action and the material world.

Build something worthy of your attention.

DECEMBER

What shall I release?

Creation also requires clearing.

Release identities, habits, attachments and stories that no longer belong to the life you are becoming.

This echoes the Kabbalistic idea of tikkun—repair, restoration and transformation.

Make room for new light.

How to Use It

Each month:

Read the question.
Pause.
Visualize.
Feel.
Write.
Act.

Don't try to answer perfectly.

Let the question work on you.

By January, the four questions become one:

What shall I become?

That is the real purpose of this calendar.

Not simply to organize your time

but to make your attention intentional, your desire conscious, your creation purposeful, and your release graceful.

A calendar measures time.

Let yours measure becoming.
