Every year I do a big round-up blog post reflecting on the previous year. It’s both one of my favorite posts to write, but it’s also the hardest. How do you sum up a full year? How do you set new intentions for the year ahead? That shit is overwhelming!
But the practice of self-reflection is super important. According to a study of UK commuters, people that were prompted to think about and plan their day ahead were happier, more productive and less burned out than their cohorts that didn’t [source]
This year I invite you to do your own reflecting this month, ya don’t need to have a blog to get introspective!
I know it can feel super overwhelming so I’m breaking it down into 31 end of the year journaling prompts to get the creative juices flowing. One for every day this month! Think of it as a little end of the year challenge — and be sure to share if you’re following the prompts every day. I’ll be giving you daily reminders on instagram: @kaylakleinman
