In order to proceed with what you want more in your life and before you can envision what you would like to accomplish or work towards next year, it might be wise to re-evaluate, take stock and inventory of this last year.  This way, we can decide what to delete, discard, change, start or re-invent, next year.

So, that’s what I am doing.  And I love to answer questionnaires, which led me to make up my own.

Feel free to print the screen or just this page for yourself.  You might just want to respond to a few at a time, take time to think them through or jot down your first thoughts.

I am sure it will give me clarity, understanding and insight.  May you also find it helpful and if more questions arise on their own, allow them to ask themselves and give yourself time and space to hear your own feedback.

And whatever you do- Be kind to yourself while still holding on to your integrity. I intend on dropping my personal two-by-four clobbering stick I use to knock cruelly on my own head for good, starting today.  Hopefully, revealing that will keep me accountable.
