Out With Old, In With The New. Say Goodbye to 2022 By Celebrating Your Greatest Achievements!
It's the time of the year when we take a moment to appreciate all that 2022 has given us. To grow, we must reflect. At times, our reflection can be negative. We can look at where we feel we failed instead of celebrating wins. Now, is the time to celebrate what we have achieved!
Let’s take a look back at all areas of your life in 2022
Fun & Adventure
Many find it difficult to seek out fun and adventure, especially during this "New Normal", but fun and adventure are a must for every happy human. It can be found in the cafe or restaurant, a new friendship, new hobbies or even travel plans. Think about some of the fun activities and adventures you have incorporated into your year. And celebrate.
Personal Friendships/Relationships
Many have found it difficult to re-adjust to spending quality time with some people who they haven't seen in a while. However, as the borders are open, travel restrictions have eased and we have started travelling again. Remember the loved ones you have finally seen after 3 years. Remember those special moments and reflect on how these personal relationships really matter.
Financial Growth
Some have found the 2022 challenge, while others have seen growth. As the world sits on the brink of a potential financial crisis. Crisis creates opportunity. Review what have you done. How have you managed to see yourself through, to see your family through what have you learned from your finances in the last year? You might have had more difficult times, but you may have seen fantastic financial growth. Maybe your career has grown? Maybe, you were promoted? How did you get through the year that was with your finances intact?
Business Success
The last couple of years has been crucial years in business. Old opportunities fell by the wayside, and new opportunities opened up. How did you manage through the changes of the New Normal? Did you evolve in your business? Did you grow within your leadership role? Did you change careers or workplaces? Look at how you have changed with the times. And, give yourself a pat on the back for everything you have achieved
Health & Fitness
Has WFH impacted your health? Maybe you are a little heavier than you want to be? Maybe that treadmill you have has finally been getting a pounding?
Start to look at the opportunities. Have you committed to a new gym regime, found a gym/exercise buddy, or gone to the spa. How have you looked after your mental and physical well-being? Maybe you started meditating outdoors, learned to share your emotions more effectively or upgraded your communication style? Think about what you're doing to support your own mental and physical well-being.
Intellectual & Spiritual Development
We all know that we constantly need to grow. If you're not growing, you're dying. Think about what you have done to help yourself grow intellectually or help yourself grow spiritually. Have you looked at any courses over the year? Have you built stronger friendships that have helped you learn something new from new people? Have you learned from yourself by deep diving into your own identity into your own spirituality? Make sure you give yourself the credit you deserve.
Conclusion
Let us think about how you can document a win. Documenting wins will fuel your plan for the future so that you can attract more of those wins to you. If this is something you have done in the past, review and see what it was that you identified as a win and see how much you have grown or improved year upon year.
The wins that I encourage you to think about are; fun and adventure, friendships, or relationships, financial growth, business growth, your health and fitness, and most importantly, your intellectual and spiritual growth.
