New Year Journal

Welcome!  I am providing this free journal with intentions of helping you gain clarity and find some healing from your 2020 experience. I encourage you to find some quiet solitude with a warm beverage and take some deep relaxing breaths as you being to wrap up the energy of 2020 and welcome in some new energy of 2021!

Reflect on the year with curiosity and self-compassion.              

 Your Experience of 2020:

1.      If you could wrap up the energy of 2020 into one word, what would that word be?

2.      What were your “wins”/things to celebrate this year?

3.      What were your challenges this year?

4.      What did you learn about yourself this year and/or what were your top 3 lessons?

Closure & Reflections:

5.      What do you need to shed or leave behind from this year that no longer serves your highest good?

6.      Explain how you felt (or didn’t feel) a sense of community in 2020?

7.      Who were the most important people in your life this past year?

8.      How did these people support you, teach you or help you grow?

9.      What areas of wellness did you struggle with the most in 2020?

Looking Forward:

10.  With your wellness in mind, what are the areas of wellness you want to strengthen in 2021?

11.  What are your next steps towards this better wellness-state?

12.  What are the blocks that have held you back in the past and how can you begin to heal those or move through them? (could be negative self-talk, injury from going too fast- too soon, lose motivation, etc)

13.  When you sit and are quiet with your feelings, what are you wanting more of in 2021?

14.  What relationships need more of your time and energy in the coming cycle?

15.   If you could see a vision of yourself one year from now, what is one word that encompasses how you want to feel and how is he/she different than the version of you now?

I encourage you to develop a daily practice that allows you to connect to your inner world.  This can look different: yoga, meditation, prayer, contemplation, music, exercise, journaling, etc.  It is not so important what you are doing but that you do it with intentions of healing, letting go of blocks and growing in higher awareness.
