"Here are some suggestions to get you started in mulling
over the past year:
What did I learn (skills, knowledge, awareness, etc.)
What did I accomplish? A list of my wins and achievements.
What would I have done
differently? Why?
What did I complete or
release? What still feels incomplete to me?
What were the most
significant events of the year past? List the top three.
What did I do right? What do
I feel especially good about? What was my greatest contribution?
What were the fun things I
did? What were the not-so-fun?
What were my biggest
challenges/roadblocks/difficulties?
How am I different this year
than last?
For what am I particularly
grateful?
Another Suggestion: Consider listing all the things in
your life of which you’d like to let go—anything you no longer want.
Give thanks for what they've brought you in terms of learning and usefulness
and then burn the list. It's a symbolic gesture to help you release the old
and be open to the new. The next step is to list what you do want—experiences,
knowledge, material things, relationships, healings, whatever.…"
