As we continue to explore the 2025 theme of RISE UP, April offers a moment to connect the dots, listen deeply, and commit to what is ready to take form. This isn’t the hurried energy of pushing forward for productivity’s sake. It’s about aligning with what matters most—and creating strong, supportive foundations that will carry you long beyond this month.
Last month in March, you were invited to find and speak your truth. To claim your voice. To notice the power you hold to shape your reality through the words you use, the art you create, and the visions you believe in.
Now April asks: What are you willing to commit to—fully, clearly, sustainably?
Not for show. Not for approval. But because it nourishes and energizes your life force.
Foundation vs. Fixation
We often romanticize “hard work.” The hustle. The noble badge of burnout. But what if the work that gets glorified is actually unsustainable for your nervous system, your creativity, your health?
April calls you to examine:
- What outdated ideas about “work” or “worthiness” are still shaping your choices?
- What ruts of the mind keep you spinning instead of grounding?
- Where are you leaking energy trying to prove something that no longer matters?
And most importantly:
- What could your life look like if you trusted your natural way of taking action—the way that actually works for you?
Commit to Something Real
This month, it’s time to stop scattering your energy and start building something solid. In your mind. In your body. In your soul.
Ask yourself:
- What project, routine, relationship, or habit is ready for a wholehearted YES?
- What would happen if you let that yes shape your schedule?
- What would change if you stopped overriding your body’s wisdom?
The House as a Metaphor
Think of your life as a house. Are you:
- Moving—leaving behind what no longer fits?
- Remodeling—gutting what’s outdated and rebuilding with intention?
- Refreshing—tweaking the décor to bring in new life and color?
Each choice is valid. What matters is that you’re choosing it deliberately.
You might reflect on:
- What nudges from March are still whispering to you?
- What are you ready to renovate in your business, home, or inner world?
- Where is it time to lay new bricks—and where is it time to clear out the clutter?
Your Body: The Forgotten Foundation
We can’t talk about sustainable action without talking about the body. This month asks you to be radically honest:
- How is your body really doing?
- What’s been breaking down slowly, quietly, while you “push through”?
- What kind of care would actually support your rise?
Remember, a cracked foundation can’t hold your dreams. Your health is not a side note—it’s the stage everything else is built upon.
Getting Out of Your Own Way
To rise, you often need support. Not just surface-level encouragement, but the kind of perspective that shifts everything.
Consider:
- Who helps you see clearly?
- Where are you trying to do it all alone when collaboration would actually serve you better?
- What would happen if you asked for help before the breakdown?
Support doesn’t mean weakness. It means wisdom.
Focused, Not Frantic
Clearing foundations doesn’t mean swinging a wrecking ball at your life. This is not chaos energy—it’s conscious recalibration.
April is about being:
- Deliberate in what you release.
- Focused on what you’re building.
- Clear about what systems, habits, or rituals actually support you.
Start here:
- What systems in your life need a total rehaul?
- What simply needs a tweak?
- What is no longer yours to carry?
Leadership as Pathfinding
As you align your inner and outer foundations, you become a more magnetic, grounded leader—one who leads not by force, but by clarity.
The root of the word leader is pathfinder. You don’t need to lead everyone. But you do need to find your path.
This month, reflect:
- What path are you truly on?
- Does it still align with your values, your needs, your joy?
- What does impeccable alignment look like for you right now?
Leadership starts with integrity. With doing what you said you’d do. And also with not saying yes to what you can’t truly commit to.
April Journal Prompts
- What’s one area of your life that’s ready for deeper commitment?
- What old beliefs about “hard work” or “worthiness” are you ready to release?
- How is your body trying to get your attention?
- Where are you trying to “be strong” instead of asking for support?
- What daily routines or rituals truly nourish your foundation?
- What kind of leader do you want to be—at home, at work, in the world?
Let this be the month you Rise Up With Committment.
Not with force. But with focus.
Not with pressure. But with presence.
Because when your foundation is strong—your rise becomes inevitable. 
What resonates with you. How are you going to approach April?
