Let's brew our espresso for an insightful shot!
Why Reflection Is Crucial for Goal Setting
January is the month where most goals of the year are set and forgotten… In the excitement of looking at what we want to do for the future, we often overlook what happened in the past year, the good and also the bad or maybe completely deviating from your original goal or purpose.
WHY Reflection Matters Before Setting Goals
Reflection is the foundation for meaningful goals. It helps you understand what worked, what didn’t, and why. By looking back, you gain clarity on your values, strengths, and areas for growth. Without reflection, goals can feel disconnected from your true desires, especially with multi-year projects, a reflection serves as a good alignment point before you continue to march forward!
WHAT Reflection Can Do for You
1️⃣ Identify Lessons Learned: Past successes and challenges are valuable teachers.
2️⃣ Clarify Priorities: Reflection reveals what truly matters, ensuring your goals align with your values.
3️⃣ Celebrate with Gratitude: Pause with gratitude for the effort that brought us here before moving to the next goal.
HOW to Reflect Effectively Before Setting Goals
1️⃣ Ask Insightful Questions:
- What were my most fulfilling wins last year, and what led to them?
- What challenges did I face, and how did I navigate them?
- What did I learn about myself?
2️⃣ Nurture Your Growth:
Gently reflect on your personal and professional journey. Where can you grow, and how might aligning both bring more ease and harmony to your life?
3️⃣ Visualize the Future:
Imagine your ideal self a year from now #ToBe and #ICHHOSEto
Decide not what I want to do, but what I want to be! Empower yourself by choosing to prioritize the change you want in your life. Making a decision TO BE the version you want can set the tone for a transformative year.
Ready to Set Goals That Matter?
Reflection bridges the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Take the time to pause, look back, and create goals rooted in purpose and clarity.
Change doesn’t have to be scary! It can be exciting and colourful! My mission is to turn change into a journey of discovery and growth, something we can all embrace just like the anticipation of visiting a new country or having a new experience!
