2021 has been a big year for me. I'm proud of how much I've grown and I appreciate all of the lessons I've learned (even if it wasn't fun at the time!). A lot of things changed for me personally and professionally and I've definitely grown as a person, mum, friend, counsellor and business owner.
I know that 2022 is going to be a big year. A lot hasn't been working for me, resulting in fatigue, burn-out and general unhappiness so I'm going to be re-working a lot. I'm going to be prioritising the things that are important to me and mixing things up with my work. It's going to be a process and may take a little time, but I'm excited to change things to work how I want and need them too.
To me, December is a time for reflection. It's a time to look on the year I've just lived and acknowledge the struggles I've overcome, appreciate the lessons I've learnt and be proud of all of the wonderful achievements I've achieved. It's also a time to plan. A time to look at the new year and consider what you want to achieve, how you want to show up in the world and make commitments.
If you're ready to reflect on the year you've just lived and plan for the year that's coming, here are some of my favourite end of year journaling prompts! So grab your favourite journal and head somewhere quiet.
As you answer the below questions, remember to take your time and truly reflect. It's been a big year, at least for me, so there's a lot that may come up, but that's okay! Take your time and enjoy the process.
