Episode 69: Review Your Year
How Looking Back Helps You Move Forward
into the New Year
Guys! This is the LAST episode of 2021. Can you even believe that 2022 is here in just a few days! Everyone is excited and looking ahead to the future. But before we take a running leap into the new year, I want to invite you to this week to pause and to take some time to reflect on 2021. Whether it was a great year for you, or a bad year that you’d rather just close the door on and forget about, this exercise of looking back and reviewing how everything went is a really helpful and even beautiful practice.
Questions to ask yourself as you review 2021:
What was good this year?
What things did I create that brought me joy?
What was hard this year, that I overcame?
What lessons did I learn this year?
I am proud of myself for______
Things I am leaving in 2021
New skills I am bringing with me in 2022
These are a few questions to get you started. But get curious with yourself and answer any other questions or thoughts that pop up for you. But the ONE question that I really want you to answer is: I am PROUD of myself for. (fill in the blank)
Because you did stuff this year that you should be proud of yourself for. No matter how big or small you think it might be. If it was just waking up and still being here today because this year was hard…….then wow. You should be so incredibly proud of yourself. And if it’s something you think is small or silly or insignificant……it’s not and I want you to recognize your awesome-ness and be proud of yourself.
So go ahead, take the next few days to ponder some of these questions. To review your year, and honestly be grateful. Be grateful for where you are, where you’ve been. The things you’ve gone through, the things learned, the things you’ve overcome.
2021, thank you for all that you taught me and brought me. I am ready to close you out and ready to move into 2022. I can’t wait to see what it brings and what we create together.
