There's always plenty of talk about setting goals and intentions for the new year, but have you spent time processing and reflecting on your progress over 2024? Lucky for us, Mercury is back in that dang microwave which offers up a supportive moment for reflection, revisiting, and all the other great re- words.

Whether it's a year your eager to leave behind or one you'll remember with fondness, taking a moment to slow down and consider your 2024 experience is a really love gift you can give yourself. It also helps you lay a solid foundation for moving into the new year.

Why Year-End Reflection Matters More Than You Think

We often rush forward into new goals and aspirations without fully understanding where we've been. It's like trying to navigate without a map – you might know where you want to go, but without understanding your starting point, the journey becomes much more challenging.

Year-end reflection isn't just about reminiscing; it's a powerful tool for:

• Understanding your personal patterns and cycles

• Acknowledging and celebrating your growth, even in challenging times

• Identifying what truly worked (and what didn't) in your life

• Gathering wisdom from your experiences to inform future choices

• Creating closure for chapters that need to end

• Building confidence by recognizing your resilience and achievements

Introducing the Hindsight Journal: Your Companion for Reflection

To help you do just that, I'm excited to share my annual Hindsight Journal – a thoughtfully crafted guide designed to walk you through reviewing your year with a series of prompts and questions. This isn't your typical year-in-review exercise; it's an invitation to dive deep into your experiences with curiosity and compassion.

Creating Your Perfect Reflection Space

Before you begin your reflection journey, set yourself up for success:

1. Find your cozy corner: Grab your favorite beverage, a cozy pair of slippers, and your softest blanket

2. Set the mood: Light a candle, play gentle background music, or simply enjoy the quiet

3. Choose your tools: Have your journal ready, along with any pens or markers that bring you joy

4. Optional: Keep your tarot deck nearby for additional insight and guidance

Making the Most of Your Hindsight Journey

The Hindsight Journal is designed to be flexible – you can complete it in one sitting or spread it out over several days. Here's how to get the most from your reflection practice:

Take Your Time

There's no rush. Each question is an invitation to explore your experiences deeply. Let your thoughts unfold naturally and give yourself permission to revisit questions as new insights arise.

Use Tarot for Deeper Insight

For those who work with tarot, try pulling a card for each question to inspire and guide your responses. The cards can offer fresh perspectives and help you uncover themes you might have missed.

Trust Your Process

There's no "right" way to reflect. Some questions might spark pages of writing, while others might lead to simple, powerful realizations. Trust that whatever emerges is exactly what you need.
