You're Doing Better Than You Think: A Year-End Reflection {podcast} -

Why Year-End Reflections Matter

As the calendar edges closer to its final days, it’s tempting to look ahead and set lofty goals for the next chapter. But how often do we pause and acknowledge how far we’ve come? Year-end reflections are not just sentimental musings; they’re a powerful exercise in gratitude and self-awareness. By recognizing our wins—both monumental and minuscule—we allow our minds to rewire, shifting from scarcity to abundance. This subtle yet transformative shift isn’t just motivational; it’s essential for sustainable growth and success.

From Inner Critic to Cheerleader

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, I should be further along by now? That relentless inner voice can feel like motivation, but it often anchors us to self-doubt instead of possibility. Reflecting during the year-end period helps counteract this by showcasing tangible proof of progress. Our brains are wired to find evidence of whatever story we’re telling ourselves. When we choose to focus on achievements, no matter how small, we train our minds to spot abundance and momentum rather than obstacles. This practice isn’t just kind—it’s strategic.

Harnessing Reflection to Propel Forward

Reflection isn’t simply about revisiting the past; it’s about leveraging those insights to fuel your future. Start by creating a “did-it” list instead of a daunting to-do list. Open your calendar, scroll through your projects, and revisit moments of success—even those that felt ordinary at the time. For me, this year-end practice revealed I coached 50 students, delivered a 90-minute keynote, and balanced two businesses while navigating personal challenges. Each win carries energy, and through visualization techniques like anchoring, you can carry that energy into your goals for the new year.
