Ep. 43 How to Wrap Up a Season (with a bow)

In this week's episode of The Unlock Lab, I talk about how to close out your year - or any chapter of life that you may be in. Finding closure helps us to be able to start new chapters of our life in new, elevated energy. With this intent, we will explore the power of reflection, gratitude, and celebrating, while finding the lessons in and letting go of what didn’t go so well. I’ll walk you through practical ways to find closure and set yourself up for an exciting new beginning, whether it’s in your career, relationships, or personal growth. Let’s tie this season up with a bow and make space for what’s next. Highlights: How to honor our lessons and growth from the past year. Simple tools for acknowledging what was true, and not getting sucked in by your inner critic. Questions to help you reflect and reset for what’s ahead. Quotables: [00:06:45] "So first and foremost in this, it's really important to remember what your priorities were for the season and also realizing when those priorities may have shifted. Because what can happen is we get to the end of the year or the end of the chapter, and we start beating ourselves up on what we didn't do and what we didn't accomplish." [00:10:10] "Sometimes we can be hard on ourselves because we're like, 'but nothing major happened this year'. But if you had little things come up here and there and there, they add up. And they became these quote, unquote 'distractions', but you also had to address them, then we must honor that." [00:15:48] "One way that we can close our chapter is to be in gratitude for what you have, for what is, for what you appreciate. You can create laundry lists here and acknowledge what you have, because we so often focus on the lack. Our inner critics can have us focus on the scarcity and what we don't have."
