At the end of every year I like to reflect and consider what has happened during the previous year. I get excited to spend some private time looking at my calendar, my journal and pictures to piece together my take away for the year. Each year’s reflection looks different and this year is no exception. Some years I write long journal entries about the previous year or I reflect in my mind or with a trusted friend about what I saw as the ups and downs of my life. No matter which method I chose I like to end the year considering what worked and what didn’t. This reflection of the previous year can focus on several aspects of my life or a few. Some areas of my life I explore are:
Self
Family/Friends
Work/Education
Creative
Spiritual
Home
Money/Finances
I examine each of these areas and determine if there is something that I need to release and change so I don’t continue it into the New Year. Or I see if there is an area that I want to focus and do more of in the New Year. Ending the old year in this way gives me the ability to start new in the next year. For me, this is a time to start fresh. When considering what the past year has meant you could think about these questions:
What was the general theme for this past year?
If you use one to three words to guide your year, as I do- what happened?
Is there a word that reflects what you want to bring into the New Year?
Using the above questions can be helpful at the end the year, so you can get some perspective regarding where you are now and for preparing a foundation for something new ahead.
I am excited for the potential of this New Year and hope you are too. How do you plan to let go of the old year? Let us know below.

Recently, I have been asked repeatedly if I am done with holiday shopping. Well as a matter of fact, I am pretty much done. I used to be the person who engaged in “last minute shopping.” Truthfully you could find me Christmas Eve or sometimes Christmas Day (hello Walgreens) at the store shopping. I never even considered this as “last minute.” What I did not realize was, I was scrambling to get it done on the 24th and 25th. If I am going to be truthful, I was stressed. I have found that when I plan better in my holiday shopping AND my life, I feel calmer.
This holiday, I am on the search for peace: inner peace and peace around me. I am planning in a way that is not overly scheduled, but is honoring of what I and my family want do. This year my plan is also including rest and relaxation.
In this episode we look at holiday hungers. Why are we so interested in all of those holiday foods and they seem to call our name? You can feel empowered around food, shopping and other people.
In this podcast we discuss:
What are the 4 Holiday Hungers?
Learn about 7 emotional triggers and what you can do about them.
Get into action with 5 different ideas to end Holiday Hungers.
