This is it. The end of 2015. How do you feel about this year? What did you accomplish? What challenges did you face? How did you tackle them, and how does that inform what comes next?
I’m working on my annual goals project. Every year at this time, I look back on the goals I set last year, giving myself credit for the work I did to accomplish them, allowing myself a victory dance for the successes, and forgiving myself for the ones I didn’t reach.
Then I set meaningful, actionable goals for next year. Some may be continuations of my current goals, while others may be brand new. Setting annual goals keeps me energized, and when I feel lost, discouraged, or overwhelmed throughout the year, I check back in with those goals as a reminder to focus on what’s important and within my control.
Between now and the end of the year, give yourself the gift of a goal project. It’s the single best thing you can do to set yourself up for success in the coming year.
Working Actor Wisdom came out of my goals over the last few years, and I want to thank you for being a part of it. I wish you much joy and fulfillment in this season of reflection, and can’t wait to storm 2016 with you.
Happy, happy holidays,
Rebecca
