A Moms Stock-take Of The Past Year

So how was your Christmas? I really hope you have, and still are, enjoying the wonderful Christmas holidays with your family - treasure all those precious moments, the big ones and the small but wonderful ones.

I know some of you like to check in over the holidays too - so for those of you reading this I'll keep it light but thought-provoking.

No doubts you will read and hear a lot over the coming days about what your plans, goals etc are for the new year. However right now I want you to pause there for a few minutes and take some time to see what the past year has brought for you.

Before you look forward, I think it is very important to look back over the year gone-by and reflect on how it was for you. Quite often we are so busy planning the future that we forget to take stock of what our great past has given us.

To get your grey matter going on this subject here are some of the questions I use in my reflection. Read them all and have a go at answering them. I would definitely advise doing this away from little people when you have some time to yourself to gather your thoughts and reflect without interruption. Take whatever time you need to complete this reflecting stock-take.

Was it a good one for you over all?
What were the highlights for you?
What new things did you learn? What new people did you meet?
How have you changed as a person this year?

Quite likely that there have been some challenging times, events or people too during the past year - so from these people or situations, what did you learn?

Take a piece of paper and jot your answers down or else do them mentally, whichever you prefer. Either way take a small chunk of time to look backwards before you look forwards to your new year.

You may choose to do this in one go or in short bursts. Go with the flow on it and do it however it feels right for you.

The end goal of this reflection is that you recognise the year that you have had, the good and the not so good and having taken stock you then happily move on to the new year happy in the knowledge that what has been has served its purpose. Now you are ready to move onwards and upwards to new heights for a new year.

Happy reflecting and have a wonderful New Year celebration.
