This means I intentionally carve out time to reflect on the things that are happening in my life - and how I move through them.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>For me, hindsight is 20/20 vision. Reflection reveals all the lessons and secrets life is teaching me. You can avoid repeating mistakes and integrate discoveries with more ease and grace by pulling them out.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>If you’re a regular listener of Stay Grounded, you’ll know I reflect monthly. I reflect on an annual basis too. It’s actually one of my most favorite things I do.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>And in this episode, I’m revealing my entire process- step-by-step - for the first time. Check it out.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>“That's why my life has been able to grow so fast over the years—it's because I don't make the same mistakes again.”&nbsp;</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>In this episode, we explore:</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>Why your annual reflection starts with a month-by-month overview.</li><li>Why we look for the highs and lows - not the wins and losses.&nbsp;</li><li>Annual reflection as a game of two halves.&nbsp;</li><li><em>Really</em> learning from ‘mistakes’.&nbsp;</li><li>My closure ritual (and why it’s not for the end of the year alone).&nbsp;</li><li>My 7 reflection questions.&nbsp;</li><li>Finding your theme.&nbsp;</li><li>Crafting goals around the way I want to feel - instead of the things I want to attract.&nbsp;</li><li>And more…</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>BONUS! Here’s a list of the reflection questions I ask in the episode:&nbsp;</strong></p><ol><li>Who or what would you like to acknowledge?</li><li>What would you like to acknowledge about yourself?</li><li>What are you ready to let go of or forgive?</li><li>What did you love most about 2018?</li><li>What do you want more of / what do you want to do differently in 2019?</li><li>What would need to happen for you to feel complete closure of 2018?</li><li>What’s next for you RIGHT NOW?</li></ol><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>This reflection process is here for you to explore whenever you choose to take some self-awareness time for yourself. It’s perfect for closing out the year, but you can also use this sequence anytime you’re at an ending.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>If you want to see this process in action, check out next week’s episode of Stay Grounded when I share my personal annual reflection.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>“At the core, it's not the things we accomplish that bring life into our years... it's the things that we feel.”&nbsp;</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Summary/ Call to Action:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.
