As the year comes to a close it’s the perfect time to take a step back and reflect on the past 365 days. For as long as I can remember, I have incorporated the powerful tradition of end-of-year journaling into my life. It's my time to reconnect with myself and manifest how I want to build my life moving forward by planning how to shape the next year of my life.
In this blog post, I want to inspire you to join me in this reflective 4-day practice and harness the positive energy the start of a new year brings. From 27-31 Dec, each day, I dedicate 20 minutes by cuddling up in a cosy spot with a steaming cup of tea, and reflecting on the year through the power of journaling by

1. Processing the Ups and Downs
Life is a series of highs and lows, and the end of the year is an opportunity to process these experiences. Take a moment to acknowledge the joyful moments that brought a smile to your face and the challenges that tested your resilience. By recognizing and embracing both ends of the spectrum, we can cultivate a sense of gratitude and learn to appreciate the lessons they brought.

2. Acknowledging Achievements - Celebrate your accomplishments, big and small. Reflect on the goals you set at the beginning of the year and assess how far you have come. Have you made progress towards your dreams? Have you learned new skills? Let these achievements be a reminder of your potential and fuel for the journey ahead.
3. Gaining Clarity - End-of-year reflection offers a chance to gain clarity amidst the chaos of life. It allows us to take a bird's-eye view of our experiences and assess what truly matters to us. As you reflect on the past year, what patterns emerge? Which relationships have brought you fulfilment? Which activities have ignited your passion? Use these insights to guide your decision-making as you step into the next chapter.
4. Learning from Challenges - Challenges are not meant to break us; they are stepping stones to growth. Journaling about the difficulties you faced gives you the opportunity to uncover valuable lessons learned. Ask yourself - what did you discover about yourself during tough times? What strengths did you tap into? By reframing challenges as learning opportunities, you empower yourself to grow stronger and wiser.
5. Manifesting Your Future - Taking the time to dream and plan your future self can be an incredibly powerful exercise. Use your end-of-year journaling as a tool to manifest the life you want to build moving forward. Write down your aspirations, goals, and intentions for the upcoming year. Imagine yourself thriving, achieving your dreams, and living a life filled with purpose. Let your words and visions guide you towards a transformative future.
