🌞 What is the Summer Reset Challenge?

Feeling a little stuck, tired, or out of sync? You’re not alone.

The 5-Day Summer Reset Challenge is a simple and powerful way to reconnect with yourself — mentally, emotionally, and energetically — using daily prompts that take just 5–10 minutes a day.

Whether you’re leading a business, leveling up your job search, or just trying to breathe a little easier this summer, this challenge is for you.

 

📚 How It Works

Each day for 5 days, you’ll get one journal prompt. That’s it.

Take 5 quiet minutes (or more if you want), reflect honestly, and write it out. Optional: share in a private chat, community space like The Level-Up Club, or with a friend.

No overwhelm. Just a moment of realignment.

 

🌿 The Daily Prompts

Day 1: Pause & Check In Prompt: “Where am I right now — mentally, emotionally, energetically?” Write down a few honest words about how you’re feeling. No judgment. Just awareness.

Day 2: Look Back, Give Credit Prompt: “What have I already overcome or figured out this year?” List 3 things you’ve done well — big or small — that deserve recognition. You’ve already grown more than you think.

Day 3: Name What You Need Next Prompt: “If the next 3 months were about one thing, what would it be?” Choose 1–3 words that reflect what you truly need: Peace? Progress? Clarity? Joy?

Day 4: Let Something Go Prompt: “What’s weighing me down that I’m ready to release?” An old goal, a story, a belief, someone’s opinion — name it and loosen your grip.

Day 5: Take One Step Forward Prompt: “What’s one small step I can take to align with who I’m becoming?” Don’t force a leap. Choose something simple, nourishing, and aligned — then do it.

🧭 Next Steps

Hi, I’m Jeanel Carlson. After 20 years climbing the corporate ladder—only to smack into the “isms,” like the glass ceiling, and broken rung—I had an AH HA moment. I realized, If I can’t change the sandbox, it was time to build my own. So I did. And now? I help leaders and entrepreneurs stop shrinking, start owning their story, and break through the invisible barriers that have been holding them back. Because your story and personal brand isn’t just powerful—it’s you betting on you—louder, prouder, and on your terms.
