Tips for creating an amazing 2025!

2024 has been a busy year for us, as it no doubt has been for you!  In all that activity and in an effort to simply ‘get the job done’ it is easy to become task focused.  Unfortunately, this can lead to working ‘in your business’ rather than ‘on your business’ and often leaves very little time to work on yourself.

 

As we near the end of 2024 and look forward to a well-earned break, consider setting aside some time to reflect on the year that was.  This process of deliberate reflection can work equally well for your business as it can for you personally.  It is amazing how empowering the simple act of reflection can be.  You might be surprised just how much you have achieved over the past year, and what you understand about yourself, but don’t readily acknowledge!

 

It is important to remember that reflection isn’t about beating yourself up about what you didn’t achieve or should have done.  It is simply about acknowledging what has occurred, both positive and negative, processing and learning from that, and thinking about what you might change or do more of in the future.

 

We’ve found some great resources, listed below, to help you frame your own reflection session.  They each pose different questions that help focus your thoughts to reveal personal insights.

We hope you can take some time over the summer holiday break to rest, recharge and prioritise yourself.  Some reflection and a bit of planning could give you the jump on 2025 and create an energized start to your New Year.

 

See you in 2025!
