Reflect Grow Thrive

What’s most enjoyable about the beginning of the year is embracing yearly rituals. One meaningful ritual includes purchasing a new journal and exploring a new coffee shop. The time off during this season allows for reflection on the past year and anticipation for what lies ahead.

A helpful habit developed over time is revisiting journal entries from the start of the previous year. Reading through those pages reveals significant mental and emotional growth. At the beginning of 2024, many entries focused on overcoming worry. By the end of the year, a sense of peace was more evident in those reflections, likely due to a commitment to maintaining health and well-being.

As vacation draws to a close, there’s a bittersweet feeling. The slower pace, freedom from workplace stress, and ample downtime have been truly restorative. A key question now is how to carry this spirit forward into the busier days ahead.
