It’s OK to feel excited about the new year, or sad about the new year - or anything in between. Reflection and intentions or goals shouldn’t be a way to shame ourselves into doing more, but rather a chance for a check-in filled with self kindness and grace. And if you are listening to this episode and it’s later in the year - keep listening; the reflection questions in this episode are for anyone wanting to clarify what they want to focus on and what they don’t want to focus on moving forward - no matter what time of the year it is.

Thinking Time Questions/Questions to Connect with Intuition
Is this a good fit for me - specifically in the season of life I am in now?
Where am I feeling emotion about this decision?
Do I have the time and bandwidth for this? What are my few priorities - and does this opportunity align with this?
Beyond the fear, what is my intuition saying?
Imagine yourself 20 (or 40) years from now - what decision would you want yourself to make?
Imagine you were a loving, close friend - what would you tell yourself right now?
