I’m thrilled to share with you the only 13 questions you need for your End of the Year review! Before we jump into a new cycle, it is empowering to reflect on the cycle completed. We often rush through our days, seeking to achieve and experience more. We may be jumping from one day to another without tuning into our mind and body. We may overlook the gifts and wisdom of each moment. This End of the Year review is designed to help you truly check-in with yourself, celebrate the highs, acknowledge the lows, and start anew!
How to Create an End of Year Ritual
This journal exercise should ideally be completed multiple times in the last few weeks of the year. Every time you approach the same questions, you will be guided by your intuition to new layers of healing. Conscious and unconscious beliefs, feelings and energies will surface with every practice.
Give yourself 30 minutes to 1 hour when you sit down with these questions. You may wish to purify your space with sage, palo santo or essential oils. Consider silencing your phone and spending a few moments in stillness. Feel free to light a candle, and invoke any Higher Presence to support you. Grab a notebook and let yourself move through these journal prompts at your own pace. Remember, there is no right or wrong answer. The purpose of this exercise is to review, integrate, and create clarity.
Enjoy the process!
