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! 💖

I'm introducing a new category of post to the Joy Lab!! Fun fact... One of the members of the Alignment Revolution, @Allison Gill, and I have known each other since we were on the same basketball team in 3rd grade. We also went to grad school together at Worcester State! She was even on the infamous bus trip I talked about early in Play Week. And most importantly...she’s the QUEEN OF GTKYQs (Get To Know You Questions)...and her love language is words of affirmation, so I imagine her reading this and beaming. Anyways, she often encourages our friend group text to answer GTKYQs! This morning I sent a GTKYQ/Would You rather that I saw in a reel and I think it's so so fun. I am curious what you all would choose. Would you rather: - Live with a ghost who only microwaves things at 4 a.m. (and you wake up EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.), earplugs not allowed 👻 🍲 ✨ OR ✨ - A ghost who moves your keys every morning, but you can’t look for them until you’re already running late 👻 🔑 PS... the funny thing is I didn't even realize how this could be used as a way to determine core values too... one of these choices in DIRECT opposition of my core values so I would NEVVVVVER choose it.... the other would just be annoying... vote for your choice first, and then check the comments where I'll explain the connect to core values in the comments!
