It's time to Reflect, Refocus and Restart for 2025

In today's fast-paced world, taking the time to reflect on our experiences, refocus our goals, and restart on our journey is more important than ever. This blog will serve as a space for you to pause, think deeply, and realign your priorities. As you complete these questions feel free to consider all factors of your life and make sure you keep your personal values in mind.

TO GET STARTED:

Please set yourself up for success.  Allocate some time, put on relaxing music,  light a candle even, make yourself a warm drink (or a wine), grab a pen and paper if you want to, or just use your laptop or iPad - and let’s get started..

There is no right or wrong in answering these questions.  As a priority it is a perfect time to consider your situation both personally and professionally, so let yourself just get into the flow and see where the questions take you.   The questions can be answered thinking solely about your career or about your life in general.  You choose.  This is for you and no one else.

At the end of the next 12 months what will you be super proud of?

If you were to do a visual representation of your next 12 months, what would it look like?  

(here you can develop an inspiration board – inspiration boards are visual reflections of what you want to achieve – it can be pictures, words, your motto etc).  Some people cut and paste on a big A3 sheet and some do it on computer.  Can be a good exercise for the whole family.
