It's the end of the year 2017! Is this year a wonderful year for you? Or it can be better? It's time to sit down to reflect and review the year 2017!
It is my habit of spending the last day of the year, find a quite place to reflect and review my year. This is how I make it! I stay in a beach side resort, spend 2 or 3 days there alone without any distractions especially my hand phone. Set at airplane mode. I bring along my diary and a big note pad with me. Sitting at the beach chair facing the beautiful sea, listen to the wave, the wind blow on my face, feeling the warmth of the sand under my feet, turning my diary page after page from 1st Jan till 31st December of the year. It is like seeing my whole year of life right in front of me. One month after one month. I will write on my last page of my diary how I rate each of the month. What is the single one word I describe every month and one word for the whole year. It can be exciting, fun, frustrating, adventurous and the list goes on. I checked back my year in 2016. The word I gave to my year is WARM UP! Is a description to say I warm up myself before I get into game!
Not just the word I give to myself. Also to check out what is the resolution that I set early of the year whether I accomplished it or not. If yes, give myself a YEA! If No, what is the reason why I did not accomplish? Is the goals that I set for myself realistic? and is that still priority for me? What can I do to make it happen? These are the list of questions I ask myself in the reflect and review process! Yes, I wrote it down! Yes, I practically can see this and read it line by line….
How about you? What is your routine at your year end? How you spend your last day of the year? I really love my practices of reflect and review. It measures my progress of my year and give it a beautiful close. I encourage you make this a try this year!
