As we near the end of another year, it's a time filled with joy and festivities that naturally lend themselves to reflection and renewal. I've managed to create a smooth transition into this season, and while it hasn't always been seamless, I've learned to cherish this time as an opportunity to reset and prepare for the year ahead.
Today, I’m sharing with you my process for doing just that. This reflection process is something I hold dear and has been a key component of my personal and professional growth. Reflecting on past experiences, it's evident that a year-end reset didn’t happen by accident. It’s a meticulous process I’ve cultivated over nearly six years since starting my business, focusing on reflection and resetting to bridge the gap between where I am and where I want to be.
As a business owner juggling various responsibilities, my life is not only about work but also about maintaining harmony between business and personal commitments. Practices like journaling allow me to explore ideas and understand the meanings behind my actions, helping me achieve clarity and purpose. It provides the grounding I need, especially during my reflection periods.
Reflecting back on previous years, I identify areas of struggle or imbalance, such as the enormous guilt associated with taking personal time away from work. In overcoming this, I now permit myself guilt-free joy and relaxation, understanding that personal wellbeing directly impacts business health. This year, I even avoided the pitfalls of past burnout phases by recalibrating my expectations and redefining success metrics to focus more on personal satisfaction and less on rigid, financial achievements.
My reflection and reset process isn’t a once-a-year exercise but an ongoing series of check-ins, a connection with my soul’s goals and life priorities. I've poured a lot of thought into sharing this process with you, and hope you find it enriching and applicable as you reflect on your own journey.
Thank you for joining me in this reflective space. If you’ve found value in my journey, I encourage you to share this reflection with a friend or colleague, helping to spread inspiration and insight. Until next time!
