Before charging into the new year, it’s important to pause and reflect. Here are some questions to help get you on your path of self-discovery:

1. What brought me the most joy this year – and why did it make me so happy?
2. What was my biggest personal triumph – and why am I proud of it? 
3. What was the bravest thing I did – and what did it teach me about myself? 
4. What was my biggest mistake – and what did I learn from it? 
5. What am I most grateful for – and who/what do I have to thank for it? 
6. What challenges did I overcome?   –  and what did they teach me?
7. What relationships brought me the most fulfillment?  – and who/what contributed to this feeling?
8. What habits and routines served me well?  – and what benefits did I receive?
9. How did I grow as a person?  – and what will I do to keep growing?
10. What do I wish I had done differently?  – and what will I do about it now?

Take some time to write out your answers to these self-coaching questions.  

What has been revealed? How will you use these reflections to light your path for the coming year?

Bonus: Find a trusted friend, colleague or partner share the questions for them to reflect on, and then share your responses with each other. Verbally talking through your answers will provide a deeper layer of understanding for yourself and the person you are sharing with. 

It’s amazing how a few sunsets and rainbows can wash the stress away. I have just returned from the most amazing two-week vacation. The first week I spent quality time with my awesome hubby, Jon, and the second week I spent with my amazing sister, Donna.  It didn’t hurt that it was on the beautiful island of Maui. From the moment I stepped off the plane, I felt a release.

I don’t know about you, but daily I have so much information coming at me I feel buried, so I asked myself, “How do I want to be on this vacation? Instead of What do I want to do?” My perspective shifted when I answered: I want to be present, at peace and in awe. I needed to get real about what it would take for me to show up that way. I made a commitment to myself that I was going to truly disconnect.  No news. No social media. No work. No agenda. No problem, right?

As I reflect on the trip, I realize how much I gained by reducing all the noise and living in the present. I experienced slow mornings sipping tea and writing in a gratitude journal, I spent in nature hiking the Lao Valley watching the water flow to the ocean, I sipped champagne on the cliffs and ate fresh seafood, I swam with sea turtles and dined with a gecko, and most importantly I deepened the relationships with my loved ones. Vacations and rest are not just for summer, it is a necessity to take time all year round to recharge so you can be at your best.
