New Years Reflection Questions

          Every year in late December, I reflect on the past year; my ups and downs, successes and failures, memorable relationships, and most important lessons. I dream up a vision for the New Year and the dreams I would like to manifest. I learned that journalling thought-provoking questions leads me to live life with more passion and purpose. The following are questions I created and answer myself every year. I'd like to share it to assist you in shaping your life for 2020:
​
  • What personal quality are you most proud of yourself for having in 2019?
  • What were your top 3 accomplishments in 2019?
  • What personal quality do you most want to work on in 2020? Why?
  • Who impacted you the most this year and why?
  • Did you eliminate anyone from your life? Or minimize your emotional investment in them? In what ways did you feel empowered by doing so?
  • What was the story you told people about your life in 2019? Is it serving you?
  • Do the people closest to you value your time, effort and investment in them? How can you be more mindful about who you spend your time with next year?
  • Did you prioritize people who did not prioritize you this year? How can you change this in the New Year?
  • Is there a risk you regret not taking in 2019? How can you prepare to take it in 2020?
  • What was the most insightful thing you learned about yourself in 2019?
  • What challenging and/or unexpected events happened to you this year? How did you grow as a result of living through this?
  • Who are the people whom you most admire? What does this say about you?
  • How has this year’s events shaped your thoughts, beliefs and philosophies? Are you more at peace with yourself as a result?
  • What was the biggest pleasant surprise of 2019?
  • In what ways did you nourish your soul? How can you make more time for these activities or people in 2020?
  • What type of impact do you think you made on those closest to you this year? How did others tend to describe you this year?
  • What would have to happen for you to think 2020 was a successful or joyful year at this same time next year? What are three steps you can take in the next few months to initiate these plans?


To all my clients, I am beyond grateful to have worked with each and every one of you this past year. I feel blessed to be a guest into your inner world, and a guide for your personal, spiritual and emotional growth. Our sessions together give my life a profound sense of meaning and purpose. I look forward to a 2020 filled with even more healing and transformation.
