As previously stated, I do not believe in New Year’s Resolutions, in fact I recently heard that most resolutions are broken by January 19th. What I prefer is self- reflection. According to Calm self -reflection provides the following benefits:
· Helps gain perspective
· Increases self- awareness
· Helps you align with your core values
· Helps you respond to situations with more resilience and ease
· Promotes personal growth
So, as we reflect on 2024, here are Calm’s key questions to guide you through this exercise.
- What brought me the most joy this year?
- What were my proudest moments this year, and why?
- Which experiences challenged me, and what did I learn from them?
- Were there situations I wish I had handled differently? Why, and what could I learn from them?
- Have I been true to my values and beliefs?
- Did I step out of my comfort zone? If so, what did I discover about myself in the process?
- Which personal qualities did I utilize most this year, and in what scenarios?
- Were there goals I set but still need to achieve? What were the reasons, and how can I adjust my approach?
- What am I grateful for?
- How have I grown as a person?
Which do you prefer – New Year’s Resolutions or Self-Reflection. Wishing everyone a healthy and productive 2025!
