Do This Activity to End the Year
Reflection is a necessary part of growth. It enhances meaning from our experiences and highlights our accomplishments. Reflection can event relieve tension and provide closure.
The end of the year feels like a natural time to reflect. I’ve put together a reflection activity that you can write, share in conversation or just think to yourself. My hope is that at the end of this activity you feel a sense of renewal and re-energized for the new year.
