Year End Reflection

If living fully is what you desire, you need to have a compass that can be your guide to attain it.

With a culture that is focused on looking Onwards and Upwards, there is little time for ourselves. While it is exciting to shift our attention to the next, it is equally important to take time for a critical exercise to Growth – Reflection. Regardless of how this year went, it has given insights to each one of us that we can carry forward. Every experience provides us with an opportunity to become cognizant, improve consistently, and evolve. Reflection is that inner compass that helps us gain clarity. It produces a refined version of ourselves that equips us with a robust mentality to face challenges that were once considered insurmountable.

The practice of Reflection if followed throughout the crests and troughs of life provides a vision that can be carried into all walks of life. This act of self-kindness can be achieved by methods like Introspection, Journals, Peer Groups, Yoga & Meditation.

With this year ending, it’s time to recognize your accomplishments and muse over your failures and weaknesses, acknowledge your strengths and opportunities, and deliberate on the pain points. If you’re not sure how and where to start, I’ve compiled a few year-end self-assessment questions to get you started for setting intentions for the upcoming year and help you gain perspective.

• What have you learned about yourself in the past year?

• In what ways are you different now?

• What challenges did you overcome?

• What new skills/strengths would you want to develop?

• If you could change one thing that happened last year, what would it be?

• What are the few things that you are grateful for, in that year?

The answer to these questions is never singular. You can have a certain perspective at one particular time, yet refute or morph that perspective a few hours later, inevitably leading to an unordered, cluttered mental space. It could also lead to unwanted stress, dismay, anxiety, etc. To streamline your cognition, enhance your decision-making skills, strengthen fragmented relationships, and select the correct Perspective, Coaching helps.

Sagacious are those who accept their shortcomings, reach out for guidance, and incorporate those learnings, under the amicable supervision of a Professional Coach. Such people know that constant mental pandemonium will lead them to a no man’s land, where the opportunity is ceased by the fogginess.

With a new year right around the corner, it is time for you to de-clutter your mind by assembling a mental workshop that aids in creating positive outcomes. And then living those practiced outcomes.
