\u201cYou cannot be angry or worried and grateful at the same time. Gratitude is unique in that it overwhelms these negative emotions.\u201d
(Tony Robbins, quoted by Dominik Spenst, urbestself)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
And here\u2019s the first task for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place a small bowl filled with chocolate candies, nuts, marbles, or anything you can count, next to an empty bowl. As you reflect and feel grateful for something, transfer one item from the first bowl to the second. If you don\u2019t have counting items handy, simply make a tally or draw hearts or stars on a sheet of paper\u2014each time you feel grateful (or reflect on something you\u2019re thankful for).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s go! (The tools described are available in the attached document.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: The wheel of life (part 1)<\/strong>r 1: Das Lebensrad (Teil 1)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Take 15 minutes. Look back at your 2021 and try to intuitively rate each area that feels relevant to you. How \u201csatisfied\u201d were (or are) you with each area? Consider each topic individually and let your gut feeling guide you. Rate only the topics that matter to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2: Your year in detail<\/strong> Concrete questions:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n What was noteworthy? General questions:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n What headline would I give each quarter? To conclude:<\/strong><\/em> Your year in a sentence\n(Yes, this is challenging, but the clearer and more focused you are, the more insightful the reflection will be, and the more it will help you for the coming year.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n By now, you should check your bowls... Did you remember to move items to the second bowl every time you felt grateful for something? If not: catch up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3 in our reflection: The wheel of life (Part 2<\/strong>)... You\u2019re almost there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, after a detailed reflection on your entire year, take another 10 minutes. Give another rating to the areas that are relevant to you. Consider each topic again, but this time include the insights from the last exercise and the concrete questions. Has anything changed in your rating? Or does it stay the same? Take it as it comes, don\u2019t overthink it. You\u2019ve done your job: looked closely, reflected, and now this is the result. Your year 2021.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And how does your bowl look? Were you able to add a few more nuts? Take a look... Whether it\u2019s full or just has a few nuts inside, you\u2019ve mindfully reflected on and felt gratitude for those moments \u2013 and that\u2019s what counts. How nice would it be to count these nuts every day, making visible how many wonderful and beautiful moments we have... maybe a goal for the coming year? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve come to the end of the exercise...<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ve taken the time to reflect, be grateful for what was, and take a closer look to learn and perhaps make peace with things, situations, or people... Thank you for your trust, and I wish you a wonderful time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hei\u00dft es nicht immer „schau nach vorn, nicht zur\u00fcck“?

Divide your year into quarters, or, if you want to get really specific, look at each month individually. Here are a few reflection questions to help you be as concrete as possible. Make notes, use colors, or sticky notes\u2014whatever works for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where did I get my energy?
What drained me?
What did I ignore?
Which opportunities did I seize, and which did I miss or leave behind?
Which of my strengths was I able to use well, and which wasn\u2019t?
What dream did I fulfill?
Which projects did I put into action, and which didn\u2019t I?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What feelings do I associate with it?
What do I want to keep?
What do I want to let go of?
What am I grateful for?
What did I learn this year (about myself)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What have you learned about yourself? And what do you want to do with that? Write down your insights and keep them safe until Vision Board for 2022<\/strong> (January 13, 7\u20139 pm \u2013 Info on Instagram and LinkedIn) or whenever you plan your new year... they\u2019ll help you then!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/sandrakhalil.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/love-sandra.png\")
