10 Questions to Reflect on Before the New Year

Instead of resolutions that feel like homework, these questions help you pause and choose what you want next year to actually feel like. Curl yourself up in a blanket, your favorite candle, some coffee or tea, and answer these slowly. This is your check-in with yourself.

What am I most proud of this year? (even small wins)

When did I feel most like myself?

What drained me the most?

Where did I grow without realizing it?

What relationships supported me, and which ones exhausted me?

What did I avoid this year, and why?

What did I learn about my boundaries?

What habits made my life easier?

What version of myself am I becoming?

What do I want next year to feel like?

This list isn’t about performance, but about clarity. I would love to hear what next year, 2026, looks like for you.
