?? ??? ????’? ??????
It’s that time, the end of a year (an epic year at that!) with a new one in the wings.
I developed a ritual years ago in order to better account for my time. It serves 3 purposes:
1) Reminds me I accomplished more than I thought.
2) Helps me take an honest look: ?? ? ???????? ?? ???????? ???? ?? ????? ????? ???? ? ????? ?????
3) Helps me ????????? lessons learned in the past year, and ?????? ?? ?????????? & ????? for the year ahead.
It’s a simple ritual & I take my time with it over several days.
?? ???? ?? ?????? ✍?
In point form, using different categories, create a summary of the year.
Here are some categories to consider ?? Work / Friends / Family / Physical Health / Mental Health / Travel / Society / Arts & Culture / Celebrity sightings / Spiritual.
I admit I laughed a LOT as I began this year (“???????!” “???? & ????????!” “???????/???????!”). Ha. Yah. Hilarious ?
YET – even in the categories I thought there’d be little to show for, there were some pretty powerful experiences & conversations. Those count, too.
In true ??? & ???? fashion, in the darkest depths of suffering also exists the capacity for the brightest light.
Looking back at my calendar & journals helps fill in the categories as a way of reviewing & digesting the year.
Then comes ???? ?: ????? ??? ??? ??? ???? ??
Sometimes I’ll use similar categories with goals for each.
If there’s a project I’m eager to manifest, I will break down the goals into concrete actions to follow ??
But lately, I’ve been less about goals that are a ‘to do’ list, and more about goals that reflect ‘??? ? ???? ?? ???? / ????? / ???? ?? ?? ??? ?????.’
It’s up to you how you want to use this ritual. It’s simply about helping us live with greater awareness and appreciation. Make it your own ?
Peace out, 2020.
??? ? ???? ??? ??? ? ??????? & ???-?????? ????.
