As the year winds down…
Posted by danajanelle on December 7, 2007
What a year! This is historically a crazy time of year for me. I don’t typically have the luxury of really enjoying the holidays, as I am scrambling to keep up with work. Marketing clients, coaching clients, 2008 planning is all underway, and the holidays seem to slip right by (hmm…..maybe that’s why I enjoy Thanksgiving so much, but I digress….).
I just came across an article from a fellow coach encouraging the reader to reflect on the past year. The questions she poses are:
- What are three new experiences you had this year?
- What are three accomplishments you feel proud of this year?
- What are three challenges you overcame this year?
- What are three things you feel grateful for this year?
As I read the questions, something struck me. As we are thinking about the New Year, we often don’t take time to honor the Old Year – the one we’re leaving, the one we lived and savored, aged through and played through.
Take a few minutes to consider these questions. Jot a few notes. Or, post your comments on my blog – danazurbuchen.wordpress.com. When we take time to reflect, we all have several things to appreciate. Even on our worst days.
