S1/E9: End of Year Reflections

This year especially I am reflecting as the year comes to a close, and I wanted to share some of that with you, too. I love collecting knowledge and quotes and bits of information to use later. However, those things often end up in a pile of sticky notes on my desk. Without any real structure or organization, these things get left behind and aren’t used to their full potential. In these last few weeks I’ve been cleaning my desk and my notes to prepare for the year ahead. I’ve been compiling my notes from the last year with my notes from previous years. I’ve been really humbled by my previous self for how connected many of the things I’ve been thinking about for the last few years are to what I’m currently thinking about and working through. I’ve been marinating on these ideas for a few years now, and they are only getting better.When we take time to give ourselves room to think and dream and plan and strategize, we can amaze ourselves with what our brains have been working on behind the scenes. It is only by giving ourselves space to do this that we can truly turn them into reality.I want to really encourage you to both reflect on the year behind you and also look forward to the year ahead in these next few weeks. It can be so helpful to take a purposeful pause and create an intention for your actions in the year ahead. When we are so busy in the doing, we forget to look around at where we are going. I’ve done that plenty of years, and this year feels so much different to me. When we measure backwards we can see how far we have come. When we dream forwards, we can set an intention for where we want to go.I have some words of encouragement for you in the podcast, but know you are where you need to be. Whether you are thinking about changes you want to make or you are just surviving, you are doing great. Whether you are crushing your goals or are struggling to see a way forward, know that even better things await you in the new year. Lastly, thank you for being a part of this podcast and for being here with me. I so appreciate getting to share this journey with you. As you're reflecting and working on your intentions and plans for this next year, I'd love for you to reach out to me so I can cheer you on.___________________About the Lucky Pup Podcast:Show notes, transcripts, and more are on our website.
