The one thing you must do before setting goals...(DW #851)
If you are anything like me, about this time every year, you ask yourself the same question: where did the year go?
Even though this year has been extraordinarily challenging for some, and seemed to be going by verrryyyy slowly as we spent time huddled up at home, looking back, it may feel like we started hearing about this new disease just yesterday . . .
Although many things have changed, there are some that haven't, including our habits and the way we tend to use our time.
Some of us get into a mad dash at the end of the year, trying to accomplish everything that we meant to do this year. Others are already thinking ahead to January and planning what goals they want to set for next year.
In order to start the next year off well, there is a very important step we can take right now.
Taking stock of this year as it ends.
Writing an end of year reflection is an excellent way to acknowledge your successes and wins and start considering where and how you might do better next year.
This yearly ritual is more important than ever as some of us might think that so much of what we had planned did not happen. Upon reflection, we may discover that while things may not have gone exactly according to plan (an understatement!!) there are ways in which we have progressed and grown.
So let us begin by setting aside some time in our calendar over the next week to complete our end of year reflection. We will start going through some questions to help us with this starting tomorrow.
