Inspirations: Alex rediscovers her rhythm

This is Alex

Alex is 31 and is building a career in UX research. She spends her days understanding people—interviewing users, making sense of behaviour, translating insight into better design. Her job is stimulating, human, and full of shifting priorities..

But lately, she’s noticed something. Outside of work, her own life feels a bit... disorganised. Not in a messy way—just slightly out of sync.

She journals sometimes. She meditates, occasionally. She has good friends, but plans keep getting postponed. The rhythm she wants in her personal life never quite settles.

That’s when Alex discovered Goalarama.

She wasn’t looking for a huge transformation—just a way to step back, regroup, and connect with what really matters across all areas of her life. Goalarama gave her a structure that’s gentle, focused, and rooted in intention—not pressure.

Here’s how she used it to reset her season and build rhythm that fits who she is now:

Career

Intention: To stay curious and creative, even when work gets reactive. Goals:

• Weekly Habit: Block one hour each week for deep-dive reading or learning.

• Milestone Goal: Create and present a “user insights that changed minds” deck to her team.

• Yes/No Goal: Did I work on something that excited me each month?

Alex loves her field, but she doesn’t want to lose her own curiosity in the noise of meetings and deadlines.

Family

Intention: To stay in real relationship with the people who shaped her. Goals:

• Monthly Habit: Send her mum a photo or message that sparks a memory.

• Behaviour Goal: Call her brother without scheduling it. Just because.

• Yes/No Goal: Did I speak with someone in my family most days?

She doesn’t need a major family breakthrough—just small, consistent threads of connection.

Love & Romance

Intention: Engage openly, stop overthinking. Goals:

• Freeform Goal: Let something unfold naturally—whether it’s a conversation, or a date.

• Identity Goal: “I am someone who stays emotionally available, even when life is full.”

• Yes/No Goal: Did I create space for emotional connection most days?

Whether she’s dating or simply staying open to it, Alex wants intimacy to feel easy—not one more thing to optimise.

Health

Intention: To feel more rooted in her body, not just her thoughts. Goals:

• Tally Goal: Complete 24 movement sessions this season—yoga, pilates, long walks.

• Daily Habit: Start each morning with a body check-in or stretch.

Alex isn’t tracking weight or macros—she’s learning to tune in, not zone out.

Financial

Intention: To feel calm and competent with money.

Goals:

• Milestone Goal: Build a “flex fund” for unexpected joy and generosity.

• Monthly Habit: Review spending and log one small financial win.

• Identify Goal: Do I spend or save in alignment with my values?

For Alex, finances are less about control and more about freedom and confidence.

Spirituality

Intention: To stay connected to something deeper than screens and schedules. Goals:

• Weekly Habit: Journal or walk without podcasts, music, or messages.

• Identity Goal: “I am someone who makes space for stillness.”

Her version of spirituality isn’t prescriptive—it’s just about presence.

Friends

Intention: To show up with warmth and intentionality. Goals:

• Tally Goal: 10 friend meetups or voice notes this season.

• Behaviour Goal: Celebrate friends’ wins out loud.

Alex doesn’t need more friends—she wants to deepen the ones she already has.

Community

Intention: To live like she’s part of a place, not just passing through it. Goals:

• Milestone Goal: Volunteer for or support a local organisation or campaign.

  • Freeform Goal: Contribute something—time, money, kindness—locally this season.

For someone who works remotely, community takes intention, not accident.

Systems Are Good. Rhythm Is Better.

What Alex loves about Goalarama is how it balances focus and freedom. It doesn’t ask her to be perfect, or even consistent in a rigid way—it simply helps her check in.

Not with a version of herself from five years ago. With who she is now. With this gentle structure in place, her days feel less reactive, more connected. She's not chasing transformation—just moving with clarity.

Honour the Whole You

If you’re someone like Alex—thoughtful, driven, maybe a little overbooked—Goalarama can help you give attention to your whole life, not just the loudest part. It’s not about fixing everything. It’s about noticing what matters, and then quietly choosing it—over and over again.
