Okay, folks. We've just spent a month wallowing in all forms of consumerism, and now it's time for us to start imagining how we will be better people.
Maybe you're a person who likes to feel lofty and above it all (aka "better") because you are always growing and changing and don't need something arbitrary like a new year to motivate you to improve yourself. Well, good for you. I like to take opportunities to reflect and what better time to consider the bigger picture of your life than a new year.
I am going to start by asking myself some questions:
What am I grateful for this past year?
What am I grateful for in the sense that hard things make you stronger so I guess I'll say I'm grateful because I learned and grew even though it was actually sucky?
Where did I feel stuck?
Where did I feel possibility?
What were the little things that I enjoyed the most? Least?
What people and places made me feel strong/good/powerful/happy/energized/other positive feelings?
What people and places made me feel weak/bad/powerless/unhappy/tired/other negative feelings?
What is the relationship between these different people and places?
Where do I want to grow?
Where do I want to shrink?
How did I mean to spend my time and how did I actually spend my time?
What causes did I contribute to? What causes do I want to contribute to? How?
If someone was observing my life, what goals would they think I was pursuing? What goals do I actually want to pursue?
How the heck am I going to save enough money for the weddings that are coming down the pipeline this year?
