The Power of Reflecting on Your 2025 Year | Ep. 457

Who’s ready to take a breath, pause, and REFLECT with me during this busy, yet beautiful holiday season? This week’s episode is a POWERFUL and timely one that can absolutely change the trajectory of your next year. Before you sprint into 2026 with new goals, new plans, and big dreams, I want you to PAUSE. Because clarity, confidence, and courage doesn’t just come from looking forward — it comes from looking BACK and extracting the GOLD from 2025 also. And that’s exactly what we are doing today. This episode is all about the transformational
power of reflection and why it is STEP ONE in creating your BEST YEAR YET. You
ready?!

WHY REFLECTION MATTERS (5-GAME-CHANGING REASONS):
1. Reflection creates clarity amid the chaos. Life is loud. Fast. Busy. Reflection slows the noise, shifts you from autopilot to intentionality, and gives you crystal-clear focus. Clarity is jet fuel for your goals.

2. Reflection builds confidence by celebrating wins. Most people forget how far they’ve come. Reflection forces you to capture the GOOD, celebrate the wins, and remember this truth: YOU are capable, resilient, and stronger than you think.

3. Reflection turns challenges into wisdom. Challenges don’t break you — they SHAPE you. When you write them down, pain turns into purpose and lessons become leverage for the future.

4. Reflection reduces stress and anxiety. Writing is therapeutic. When thoughts stay in your head, they create pressure. When they hit paper, they create perspective. Lighten the load. Breathe. Release.

5. Reflection realigns you with purpose and values. Reflection reconnects you to what matters most — faith, family, mission, calling. It’s a recalibration of your internal GPS.

10 POWERFUL QUESTIONS TO REFLECT ON IN 2025:
Take time with these. Don’t rush them. Write them out.
1. What were your TOP 5 wins or highlights of 2025?
2. What were your biggest challenges — and what did they teach you?
3. In what ways did you grow the most this year?
4. What did you START in 2025 that you want to AMPLIFY in 2026?
5. What did you tolerate in 2025 that you will NO LONGER tolerate in 2026?
6. What relationships mattered most — and how can you be more intentional with them?
7. What habits FUELED you? What habits DRAINED you?
8. What are you most PROUD of in 2025?
9. Where did you feel the presence of God the most this year?
10. If 2025 were a chapter in the book of your life, what would the TITLE be?

These questions are where breakthroughs happen. Not only do I share many of my answers, I ask you to answer them as well. When you start with reflection, your goals become more meaningful, your vision becomes clearer, and your drive becomes PURER.

ACTION STEPS: Please Block out 30–60 minutes this week, find a quiet space, grab your journal or Annual Strategic Plan, and start writing. Breathe. Reflect.

Don’t overthink it. When you take time to pause and look back, you extract the wisdom of 2025 and create a powerful launchpad for what’s next.
