Day 24: How Have You Grown This Month?
Reflect on what’s shifted for you since we started
Hey there Heroine,
You’re 24 days into this challenge. That’s 24 days of noticing, reflecting, stepping outside, and reconnecting—with nature, with yourself, with the people around you.
Your prompt for Day 24:
Identify one area of your life where you’ve grown this month. Reflect on how you’ll continue nurturing it.
Maybe you’ve gotten better at making time for fresh air, or maybe you’ve started seeing nature in a whole new way. Maybe you’ve reconnected with an old love for adventure, or maybe you’ve just paused more often—to listen, to look, to be.
Whatever it is, take a moment to acknowledge it. You did this. You chose to show up. And that matters.
Leave a comment or share your reflection on Substack Notes, and tag it with #LoveTheWild. I’d love to hear what’s shifted for you—big or small.
With appreciation for every step,
Jill
It’s funny—when I started this challenge, I wasn’t expecting any big, dramatic transformations. I figured I’d take a few more walks, pay a little more attention, maybe journal a bit.
But somewhere along the way, something shifted.
I’ve started noticing the way the wind moves through bare branches, how the morning light changes week to week. I’ve caught myself pausing—actually pausing—to listen, to breathe, to just be outside instead of rushing through it.
And maybe that’s the real win. Not some grand revelation, but the slow, steady way the wild keeps working on me, making me a little softer, a little more present, a little more awake to the world around me.
And one of the best parts? Reading everyone else’s reflections along the way. It’s been such a joy to see how different women experience the outdoors, how we each find meaning in the small, ordinary, beautiful moments. It makes me feel connected—not just to nature, but to this incredible community.
I’m carrying that forward.
