T-minus 19 Days…
T-minus 19 days til the end of 2022… Time to look back, reflect on the joys and challenges, set intentions… and share the celebrations of 2022!
Every year, around this time I begin looking back at the year… Pulling at the threads that wove together to form my life for 365 days. The ups, the downs, and the windy paths…
Sometimes we can be so quick to move on, that we forget to look back and take stock of how we got to where we are. I use a process each year to reflect, remember, celebrate, and let go… Sometimes I take several days to visit this process, sometimes it’s an hour or so in a coffee shop… Wherever you are this year, I encourage you to take what time you can and give 2022 it’s due. Here’s the process that has served me well the last several years:
Gather your calendars, planners, diaries, photos, Social Media accounts and anything else that can help reflect over the past year.
Make a list of the key events and memories of the year.
Describe your year. Write it down. Maybe even just use 3 words. What was the essence of 2022?
Make a list of the successes and celebrations. Enjoy them! Share them with others!
Check in with goals and intentions that were set. Did they happen? Were they honored? Do they need to be tweaked or revised? Are they still important?
If you did the Vision Workshop, or had a word you were intending to live into - how did it go? How has it shown up in your life?
What has changed about you in 2022? What feels different now?
What has been healed?
What has been deepened?
Who are you becoming?
Who were the people that supported you? The people who showed up?
What exhausted you? What would you like to change or let go of?
What new priorities or intentions have you uncovered for 2023?
What are you most thankful for in 2022? Big, small, profound, simple? List as many as you possible can. Fill an entire page!
We live these big, beautiful lives - sometimes it’s nice to set aside some quiet and savor where we’ve been so we can get excited about what is still to come. This is a nurturing piece of self-care that can be an extraordinary tool…
And once you’ve looked back… and are starting to feel a tug and pull toward 2023 - it’s the perfect time to sign-up for a Vision Workshop! Jump start your new year with excitement and purpose - give yourself the gift of creating a Vision for your life that you’ll love and set the intentions that will move you towards that life. I have three offerings in January - so check your calendar and sign up soon (space is limited!):
