The Monday Before July

Kris Evergreen here. Two days before July. Which means you are standing at the threshold of the back half of the year with a summer in full swing under your feet and more light still than you know what to do with.

This Monday has a particular quality. It’s not quite next-chapter energy yet — July starts Wednesday, and we’re not there. But it’s not purely present either. There’s a mild, pleasant anticipation to it. Something is coming. Something with fireworks and heat and the specific smell of sunscreen and the particular quality of hot pavement after a long day.

Before July gets here: what do you want to bring to it? Not from a productivity standpoint. From a showing-up standpoint. Who do you want to be in July? What does July get from you?

Set the intention now. You’ve got two days to mean it before the month begins.

What’s one thing you want to do or feel or experience before summer is over?
