Reflecting back & Planning ahead

thoughtful young woman

Have you started to think about what you want to be doing in the new year?

What you want to learn?
Where you want to grow?
What you want to change?

This is the time when I start to think of these things. I also like to take a few moments and think about the past year.
What went well?
What didn’t?
What lessons did I learn?
What do I what to do differently?
What should I stop, continue or should start to do?

I don’t just do this from a work perspective but in all areas of my life. Then I can start to decide what next year may hold.

Do you have a practice like this? What do you do?

Avoiding holiday frenzy

The holidays are fast approaching. What are you doing to keep your peace of mind and stay out of frenzy?

Here’s are five tips:
1. Block or leverage your time to manage things in small steps or groupings.

2. Prepare your shopping list ahead of time. Don’t just go shopping and waste all day looking for things and not actually getting anything done.

3. Be strategical when you go out. Try to go to the places close together around the same time to avoid wasting additional time in traffic or money on gas.

4. Don’t try to do everything and be all things to all people. It’s the perfect way to set yourself up.

5. Take breaks. Practice self-compassion and enjoy the moment.

Remember it’s the thought that counts. When in doubt, just say no. It’ll be one less thing you’ll have to do or worry about.

Most important is to remember to breathe and take care of yourself.
