Revive & Thrive: Refocus to Reclaim the Year's Last Quarter!
“Reflection is looking in so you can look out with a broader, bigger, and more accurate perspective.” — Mick Ukleja and Robert Lorber
Congratulations! You’ve made it to October — a pivotal month nestled right before the social whirlwind of the holiday season.
If you're like me, you began 2024 with big dreams and ambitious goals. And if you feel you haven't made the strides you hoped for, don’t worry. October offers a golden opportunity to pause, reflect, and recalibrate. You might discover a series of overlooked victories waiting to be celebrated! Use this moment to strategize for the success that awaits you in the coming months.
Your Personal Year-in-Review
Businesses routinely perform annual audits and strategic planning to align with their visions. Why shouldn't you do the same for your personal and professional life? By investing time in your own "year-in-review," you'll gain the clarity needed to pivot effectively and harness the final quarter of the year to its fullest potential.
Reflecting on the past nine months allows you to craft a precise blueprint for success in 2025, identifying immediate actions to optimize the rest of the year.
The Art of Strategic Reflection
Strategic thinking is your key to unlocking progress. At Picture it Possible, we’ve seen firsthand how asking the right questions can illuminate paths to success. Here are my top three reflection questions to kickstart your year-in-review:
Before diving into 2025, what areas do you already recognize that need to change in 2024?
What did you prioritize this year and why?
What positive impact did those priorities have on your life or business?
To deepen your reflection, consider these additional prompts from our team warm-up exercises:
What beliefs, relationships, or habits did you release to meet your goals?
What challenges did you face? Were they anticipated, or did they catch you by surprise?
What inspired or energized you this year?
What actions did you take that aligned with your true calling?
Year-in-Review Challenge
This October, dedicate just 30 minutes each week to answer these questions thoughtfully. Share your journey with us by emailing hello@pictureitpossible.co or commenting below.
