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.
