As the year draws to a close it’s natural to reflect on the previous twelve months and sometimes, it can be all too natural to focus on the negatives … the resolutions and dreams that never got fulfilled, the disappointments and the losses.

If you’d like to go into the new year feeling emboldened and positive about the old year I’ve created a little exercise for you.

Simply answer the following 10 questions as fully as possible and let your answers form the blueprint for a happy 2019…

:: What are you proud of achieving this year – and why?

:: What traits did these achievements require of you? ie courage / strength / love / determination

:: What are the lessons in each achievement?

:: What didn’t go according to plan this year?

:: What are the silver linings and lessons in each disappointment?

:: How can you use the lessons from your achievements and disappointments in 2018 to create a happy 2019?

:: Did you lose anyone close to you in 2018? How could you dedicate 2019 to their memory?

:: What, where and who made you happy in 2018?

:: How can you build on this happiness in 2019?

:: How can you add to the love in the world in 2019?

Wishing you all a very happy 2019!
