Acknowledge how far I’ve come this year

If you’ve had a difficult year, it can be easy to focus on the challenges themselves instead of how you’ve risen through them. Looking back to 1st January, you didn’t know what lay ahead and you were less experienced in life than you are now, for having dealt with 2014’s obstacles.

Get Into Action!

  1. Write a list of the top FIVE ways that you’ve grown this year. For example, through that bullying situation at work, you became more assertive, or because of illness, you learnt to let people help you.

  2. You are not the person you were on 1 January 2014, and you will not be the person you are now this time next year. We evolve in response to what happens around us. How have you evolved? What changes do you notice in yourself?

  3. Doing this activity can bring you courage to face what happens next. You may like to keep this list somewhere handy, and refer to it next time something crops up that’s difficult, as a reminder of your capacity to respond to anything life throws your way.

Trouble-shooting...

Problem: ‘But I handled something badly…’

Solution: It’s the times when we learnt what not to do that make us stronger. We all have experiences we’d love to re-wind and re-do but we don’t need to. We can often repair situations and make changes as a result of what went wrong. Start from where you are. Move on from here.

What defines us is how well we rise after falling"
