2. What were 3 lowlights of the year?
3. Choose 3 words to encapsulate the year for you.
4. How did 2023 change you?
5. Make a list of the books you read, movies & shows you saw, and trips you took.

1. Choose a word that you would like to represent the upcoming year.
2. As you go into 2024 what values are most important to you?
3. What goals or habits would you like to pursue in 2024? Your goals and intentions can be powerful if they are written with specificity and worded in a way that will be easy to assess your progress at the end of the year instead of your absolute success.
   
   For example, instead of “Stop being codependent.” try “Invest in learning how to break my codependent tendencies by reading the books: Codependent No More and How to Do the Work and become stronger in my ability to surrender what is not mine.”
   
   Another example: instead of “Set healthy boundaries.” try “Communicate my need for personal space more often by saying No to the things that drain my time, energy and resources.”
