Reflection Perfection

Before you get deep into all the things you want to change in the new year, pause and think about what you achieved and experienced in the past year. Having clarity on what got you to where you are today will help keep you focused on moving forward without dwelling on the past.

The beginning of a year can be a natural time to reflect on how the last year has gone for you. I am personally learning to be better about reflecting; it doesn’t come naturally to me. I like to keep powering forward without processing what’s happened. But I’ve learned in recent years that reflecting can truly help you to gain insight, slow down, and make positive changes.

If you’re not a natural reflector (or even if you are - and if so, bravo!), a prompt often helps, so here are a few for you - answer them all or pick one, whatever works for you:  

🧐 What happened in 2024 that you are proud of?

🧐 What happened that you never want to have happen again?

🧐 When did you feel your best? When did you feel your worst?

🧐 What’s one word you’d use to sum up your year?

Find a quiet moment and give it a try - and think about what it means for how you want to head into 2025.
