As we prepare to close out another year, I wanted to take some time to reflect on 2016. It is so important to set some time to reflect on this past year. Take a close look at your life to see what were some celebrations, cheers, and achievements you accomplished in 2016. Don’t forget to count the trials, obstacles, and setbacks that you had to endure as well. Everything in life will either make you one of two things: bitter or better. I hope 2016 has made you better!
Here are a few questions to consider while reflecting:
- What goals did you accomplish this year?
- What did you do to accomplish those goals?
- What did you fail to accomplish this year?
- What kept you from achieving your goals?
- What are you most thankful for this year?
- What are you most proud of this year?
- What are you going to improve for the new year?
- What is one new habit that you will form in the coming new year?
- What was the hardest lesson you learned this year?
- How did you grow this year?
- What one area of your life needs the most improvement?
- What distractions do I need to remove from my life to be successful?
- Who do I need to forgive?
- How can I be kind to myself or how can I take better care of myself?
These are just a few questions I like to use when doing my end of year reflection. I hope that you too will take the time to reflect and set new goals for the coming year.
Wishing you the best in 2017!
