What were your wins this year?(DW #852)
It is very useful to begin the process of end-of-year reflection by acknowledging what went well.
Now aacknowledging what we have done well may not come naturally to many of us. t is SO easy to gloss over the good stuff and go straight to how we need to improve. And yet it is very important to give ourselves a little pat on the back.
Research suggests that when we pause for a moment to reflect on what we are already doing well, it encourages and motivates us to tackle the less-than-easy stuff on our task and project list. Taking a moment to let the good feelings of taking action is VERY effective at training our brain to do more of what works. In a sense, we are "rehearsing" what we need to do more of.
Here are some questions to get you going:
1) What are my 3 biggest successes for this year?
2) The next 3?
3) What are the small successes that were the most challenging for me?
4) What is a smart decision that I made this year?
5) What are 3 ways that I have grown this year? (have I become fitter, more patient, begun to speak up . . .?)
Do you want bonus points? Each time you think of these things, pause for a moment and say to yourself: THATS LIKE ME!
