Self-Reflection: Questions to wrap up our year

Dec.

As we get ready to wrap up the year, it becomes essential to review and take inventory of the last 365 pages/days of our personal story. It is an excellent time to look in our 'review mirror' so we can see what we are leaving behind (but not necessarily forgetting), what we want to take with us, and what is still in a grey phase for us to decide and resolve in the near future. The last days of the year prompt us to examine what occurred this year not only in our lives but on a global scale, and how events impacted us and taught us more about life, our relationships, and our collective human experience. Below are some helpful questions we can ask and journal on for this meditative practice:

  1. What was particularly challenging for me this year? How am I carrying this onto the next year so I can manage it or resolve it?

  2. What special moments and events do I cherish from this year? How will I continue honoring these moments and the people in connection with those experiences?

  3. What am I proud of accomplishing this year? What did I learn about myself and my strengths?

  4. What did I set out to accomplish this year but didn't get to do as I envisioned? How can I continue my efforts for this plan in this upcoming year?

  5. What beliefs held me back or limited me from my wishes and my desires this year?

  6. What am I grateful for at this time? How can I continue elevating this feeling into the next year?

The answers that come up to these questions can help set up and activate our intentions and objectives for the coming year. This open energy will steer us to welcome the new year with a higher, fresh perspective and a revitalized motivation to bring in further blessings and abundant experiences into our lives!

3 Communication Pointers to Strengthen Relationships

Nov

Positive and supportive communication skills are essential for building solid foundations and sustaining our relationships across time and across life’s ups and downs.  Sometimes we get caught up in our daily activities, however, and we miss a moment to truly connect or create meaningful communication.  In other instances, we may be focused on matters that trigger stress and we may find it hard to open up or be more present in a conversation.  Below are 3 communication tips we can practice for reconnecting or tuning in with our loved ones to help strengthen the bond in our relationships:

1.       Initiating a conversation with “Tell me more about what you’re thinking/feeling about (a specific subject).  This is a helpful opener that shows you are interested in their perspective and want to explore an issue more in depth.  Here it helps to stay in a more empathic and curious stance, refraining from judgment, so you can learn more about how you both feel about the situation being discussed.

2.       Pointing out one of your loved one’s strengths and recognizing how you admire that quality in them to start a conversation.  It can be applied to a recent situation or something in general you have observed.  For example, I like how you resolved ____ the other day, I admire how you ____.  This can lead or tie in to something else you each may want to talk about as well.

3.       Asking for something with the language of “Requests” as opposed to the language of “Demands.”  Starting with, “You have to ____” or, “make sure you ___” with a demanding/ordering tone will shorten communication and create barriers.   On the contrary if we use, “Could you help me____?” or, “Would you mind _____?” and, “Would you be able to____?” it will come through differently.  Applying a softer tone and a “thanks!” with eye contact will also create a more meaningful exchange.  

These communication pointers are some of the creative and supportive ways we can deepen the emotional connection in our close relationships.  When we consider additional factors, such as choosing the best time/place to talk, our current energy, our attentive body language (without phones or distractions on hand), and the positive intentions behind what we say, our communication can uplift us and take our relationships to even higher levels of connection!
