As we approach the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, it is worth spending a little time thinking about what is important to you for next year.


I picked these questions up at a wonderful workshop I attended a few years ago and have found them very useful. Before beginning a new year in full force, it can be supportive to complete and acknowledge the previous year. I hope that spending a few minutes with the following questions will help you complete the last year and start the new year on a strong note! Completing and Remembering the Past Year

  • What was your biggest triumph in the past year?

  • What was the smartest decision you made in the past year?

  • What one word best sums up and describes your past year experience?

  • What was the greatest lesson you learned in the past year?

  • What was the most loving service you performed in the past year?

  • What is your biggest piece of unfinished business in the past year?

  • What are you most happy about completing in the past year?

  • Who were the three people that had the greatest impact on your life in the past year?

  • What was the biggest risk you took in the past year?

  • What was the biggest surprise in the past year?

  • What important relationship improved the most in the past year?

  • What compliment would you liked to have received in the past year?

  • What compliment would you liked to have given in the past year?

  • What else do you need to do or say to be complete with the past year?


Creating the Coming Year


  • How will you acknowledge those who most impacted your life last year?

  • What would you like to be your biggest triumph in the coming year?

  • What advice would you like to give yourself in the coming year?

  • What major indulgence are you willing to experience in the coming year?

  • What would you most like to change about yourself in the coming year?

  • What are you looking forward to learning in the coming year?

  • What do you think your biggest risk will be in the coming year?

  • What about your work are you most committed to changing and improving in the coming year?

  • What is one as yet undeveloped talent you are willing to explore in the coming year?

  • What brings you the most joy and how are you going to do or have more of that in the coming year?

  • Who or what, other than yourself, are you most committed to loving and serving in the coming year?
