How to reflect on 2020 to build momentum toward 2021

A few folks recently requested guidance about how to reflect on 2020. One person said he did not want to think about that horrible year any more. Another said he did not know how to begin without getting too emotional. A third said she did not want to spend hours and hours looking back.

Here is the link to what I provided: 2020 Reflection.

In just 13 questions, you can reflect on last year and move forward into 2021. The general idea is not to get bogged down in the past but to reflect honestly and start building momentum toward 2021.

In addition to these questions, I list the good and bad things that happened during the year. Just a bulleted list without details (not re-living the emo of them all). My lists mix personal and business because they get listed in the order items come up, but some people prefer to do the exercises separately.

It is helpful to reflect on last year to fully grasp the lessons and loves to bring into the new year. I have been doing this practice, and studying it, since it was a sixth grade assignment. High-performance is not an accident, and neither is living a fulfilling life.

If you have not been able to reflect on 2020 yet, take 30 minutes this week. Whether you write your answers to the questions or prefer only to think about them, give yourself the opportunity to reflect. Doing so enables clarity of thought about the lessons learned and connections between events, decisions, and outcomes. The reflection is the foundation for momentum in the new year.

Give yourself the benefit of reflection and learning from the experience of last year, while you build momentum for 2021. If you need further support, get in touch. It would be my pleasure to help. ~Kelly
