Annual reflection exercise
Wrap up the year and set your intentions for 2022.
We’re 12 days away from 2022, and it seems that 2021 has gone by in a blur.
I’m excited for the new year because of what it represents. It’s an opportunity to reflect, share appreciation, and set new intentions.
I’ll keep this simple. The next few weeks should be a chance to relax and be present with loved ones, but I do think it’s important that we take a moment to think and write.
Here’s a 10-minute exercise you can do:
📝 2021 Reflection

What are you grateful for? Who are you grateful for?

Put your 2022 intentions and goals in a format that you can regularly review throughout the year.
That’s it!
I’ll be sharing some of my personal reflections and learning in an upcoming article — stay tuned.
Meanwhile, I’d love to learn about your accomplishments, reflections, and goals.
If there’s anything above you’d like to share, please reply to this email (only I can see the response).
If it’s a goal I can help with, I’m happy to do so.
Once you share yours, I’ll do the same as well.
Happy to be an accountability buddy, thought partner, or someone to bounce ideas off.
