reflection time
This time of year is my favorite! Not because of the holiday buzz and the many festive activities but because of the tradition I created for myself years ago. I have a night of reflection.
I carve out one evening in December, grab my journal, cozy up to the fire, with my cup of tea, and reflect on the past year and how I envision the upcoming year. I do it from the lens of me as the hero of my story. We are the heroes of our story but we tend to pick out the parts that did not go so well and I take this time to concentrate on all the things that did. And since I am the co-creator of my life it allows me to write the story as the hero of my journey.
With my clients, we start this process together. We begin by brainstorming all the accomplishments that occurred in the last year. Big and small!
For teens:
From saying Yes to Life Coaching to finishing a school assignment.
From learning how to listen to their inner knowing to feeling less anxious.
From feeling more confident in the classroom to beginning a gratitude journal each morning.
From creating a morning routine to having vulnerable conversations with parents.
From enhancing sports performance to stressing less.
For parents of teens:
From less yelling to more joy.
From connecting more with their teen to finding time for self-care.
From taking steps towards fulfillment to beginning journaling.
This reflection is so powerful because it allows taking a brief look at how far we came in the last 12 months. It allows us to see ourselves in a favorable light.
To see how powerful we are and visualize what we created and accomplished in such a short time.
This reflection fuels us going into the holiday season with a true sense of joy! And it starts to get us ready to dream about what is waiting for us in the upcoming year.
It allows us to see the possibility and that setting goals are another way for us to think bigger.
Anything is possible
My hope for you is to see how amazing you truly are and start to step into the magnificent being you were created to be.
