It is particularly important to spend some time on reflection during the end of a year/beginning of a new one.

Grab yourself a notebook and spend some time contemplating and then answering the questions below…

• What have you achieved this year that you are proud of?
• What have you not achieved this year that you would like to try for again next year?
• What would you like to leave behind in this year?
• Are you happy with the person you were this year, or would you like to make some positive changes for the New Year? If so, what changes would you like to make?
• What are your major goals for 2012?
• What are your smaller goals for 2012?
• How will you break those goals down into easily managed steps?
• Do your new goals line up with your purpose and values?
