As we say goodbye to this year, take some time to reflect on the past year. Find yourself a quiet place. Grab your favorite beverage and a notebook. Sit back and think about the last year.
Here are a few questions to start you off. Pick the ones that resonate with you. As you reflect, you’ll come up with more of your own.
- What am I grateful for this year?
- What did I learn?
- What did I achieve?
- Did I pay enough attention to my physical, mental and spiritual health?
- Did I pay enough attention my relationships?
- Did I spend sufficient time on the activities that I care about?
- Am I happy with the trajectory of my life?
- Did I over-prioritize or under-prioritize certain aspects of life?
Don’t underestimate the importance of this exercise. Spending a couple of hours thinking about the past year will give you insights that can have a dramatic impact on your life. Try it out and let me know how it goes!
