Foundation for a Fantastic New Year: Four Important Questions to Reflect On

As we prepare to close out any year, we’re in a mad rush to complete our goals and get a head start.

But December is also an excellent opportunity to slow down and reflect on the outgoing year. Often when we pause and reflect, we can see the path ahead more clearly, and better define new goals for the coming year.

One way to accomplish this is to ask yourself four important questions and write down your responses:

Did you accomplish three major goals?

Three goals may not seem like a lot, but this is why it’s significant. Every year, we start with grand goals and can’t wait to kick them into high gear. Any given year, we meet some of our goals, but inevitably, we may not meet all of them. However, three major goals a year is attainable for most people, and it’s a huge accomplishment! We often get caught up in quantity rather than the quality of our goals.

What have you done that you love?

We get so wrapped up in the things we have to do, that we forget about the things we want to do. If you didn’t make time for the things that bring you joy, then reflect on how you’ll remedy that in 2018.

What would you have done differently?

Reflect on what you could’ve done differently in both your professional and personal life. Focus on what you can enhance or change in 2018.

Did you make time for friends and family throughout the year?

Work will always be there, but the people closest to us won’t. Just like with your goals, focus on the quality of the time, and not the quantity of the time.

In the end, this is what matters most.
