Now that we have entered 2012 and left 2011 behind, reflect about the past year and how it can be helpful in improving the next 12 months. These 20 questions will help you reflect.
*1. What was the single best thing that happened this past year?
*2. What was the single most challenging thing that happened?
*3. What was an unexpected joy this past year?
*4. What was an unexpected obstacle?
*5. Pick three words to describe 2011.
*6. Pick three words your spouse would use to describe your 2011 (don’t ask them; guess based on how you think your spouse sees you).
*7. Pick three words your spouse would use to describe their 2011 (again, without asking).
*8. What were the best books you read this year?
*9. With whom were your most valuable relationships?
*10. What was your biggest personal change from January to December of this past year?
