Congratulations – you’ve reached the end of another year! No mean feat in weird times like these.
But before we rush headfirst into goal setting and thinking about the year ahead, let’s take a minute to pause so we can reflect on wtf just happened.
Grab a brew, cuddle up and let’s debrief.
(Note: these prompts can be used to do a quarterly or monthly review, so keep it bookmarked somewhere handy to come back to later! They also make great conversation starters at parties…)
I’ll discuss:
reasons for reviewing your year – the perks and benefits of a reflective practice – even if you feel like you’ve had a tough time
how I went from hating new year to enjoying the symbolic new beginning it represents – and how all of us can learn to do this
a quick breakdown of the different ways you can reflect (because journaling isn’t for everybody!) and a hack to make the activity easier and more enjoyable, taking your learning style and preferences into account
the 12 questions to ask yourself to review your year
how to reflect on your personal and professional achievements, progress, challenges and lessons in a way that isn’t intimidating, harrowing or depressing as hell
