There’s something special about the end of the year and the way it causes us to reflect on our good and bad moments. In fact, I find the reflection part of goal setting to be the best part. It’s hard to know what to change and alter without reflecting on what you don’t like. That’s why I’m taking time this month to reflect on my blogging in 2016 and to realign my goals and vision for 2017. I thought I’d take a moment and share my process with you in case you’re interested in doing your own reflect and realign for 2017.
First off, you have to identify which area of your life needs some reflection and realignment. At this particular moment, I’m focusing on my blog specifically, but there are several other areas that I’ll be focusing on in the future. The questions and activities below are ones that you can use for any aspect of your life to reflect and realign your vision. While I am doing them as part of my process for preparing for the year ahead, you could easily reflect and realign at any point during the year!
