I do a version of this reflection every year before I sit down to plan out my next year. Then I gather pictures that make me feel happy to add to my vision board! If you want to try this, I recorded a quick video and have a free template for you to grab! Link to grab the Canva template: 2025 WRAPPED HERE Here are the questions: 1. What made you feel proud No achievement… alignment… proud. 2. What made you feel calm Maybe a space, a breath, a ritual, a pause. 3. What you let go of (or started to) A belief, a pattern, an obligation, a shouldy value . 4. What made you feel hopeful A tiny step toward who you’re becoming, a glimmer, a spark. 5. What made you feel connected To yourself, someone else, or something meaningful. 6. What made you feel like yourself Authentic. Unmasked. Aligned. 7. What brought you ease or softness A gentle moment, a supportive habit, a simple pleasure. 8. What helped you choose yourself A boundary, a pause before committing, an aligned yes. 9. What you created (that you’re proud of) A moment, a memory, a routine, a resource, a shift. 10. What surprised you (in a good way) A delight, a plot twist, an unexpected opening.

I'm deep in my annual review process, thinking and dreaming of what I want more of next year is next... but I'd love to share a question that came up that I reallllly love! If your year was a book or a movie… what would the title be? Also, you know I love a good ChatGPT prompt. So if you spend a lot of time with your Chatty. Here's a prompt you can try 👇 Hi ChatGPT, Act as a gentle reflection guide. I’m a [fill in: burned-out / formerly burned-out / exhausted / overwhelmed ] [fill in profession: SLP, OT, PT, Teacher, Para], and I want to understand the deeper theme of my year. Help me identify two things: 1. the personal transformation I experienced (even if it was messy or imperfect), and 2. the ripple effect or impact I had on others, even in small ways. Blend both into one simple, grounded theme — something that feels like the title of a memoir or documentary about my year. Keep the language supportive, warm, and aligned with values, rest, and intentional living. After you write the theme, explain why it fits. I'd love to hear what you come up with! I'll share mine in the comments! 💖
