RESET: Honoring The Past
Reflecting on the past year, we begin to reset.
Megan emphasizes the importance of reflecting on the past year in order to reset and move forward. This process allows individuals to assess what worked well for them, what didn’t, and what goals or intentions they set for themselves. By examining these aspects, individuals can gain valuable insights and make informed decisions about their future actions.
Megan encourages listeners to think about three or four words that describe or sum up the past year for them. This exercise helps individuals to distill their experiences and gain a clearer understanding of the overall theme or essence of the year. For example, she shares that she felt a sense of balance in the past year, which was a goal she had set for herself. This reflection allows individuals to celebrate their accomplishments and identify areas for growth or improvement.
She also encourages listeners to consider what worked well for them in the past year. This could be anything from implementing a new routine or habit to achieving a specific goal. By identifying these successes, individuals can build on them and continue to incorporate them into their lives moving forward. For example, she mentions that she successfully slowed down during the summer and felt a greater sense of balance as a result.
Megan encourages listeners to reflect on what didn’t work well for them in the past year. This could include external factors such as economic challenges or personal responsibilities that hindered progress. By acknowledging these obstacles, individuals can gain clarity on what may need to be addressed or changed in order to achieve their goals. It is important to note that she emphasizes that these experiences should not be labeled as good or bad, but rather as learning lessons.
Megan wants individuals to consider the goals or intentions they set for themselves in the past year, even if they were not fully accomplished. This exercise allows individuals to reassess their priorities and determine which goals or intentions they still want to pursue in the future. It is important to recognize that progress is not always linear, and sometimes goals may need to be carried over into the next year.
She also highlights the importance of celebrating accomplishments, both big and small. By acknowledging and appreciating one’s efforts and achievements, individuals can boost their self-confidence and motivation. Megan encourages listeners to be proud of themselves for what they have accomplished and to show gratitude for their growth and progress.
