Ask yourself…
I came across this article and thought it was kind of an insightful activity. It has 15 guided questions that you are supposed to relate to the last 5 years of your life. (Article link is at the bottom of this page.)
It actually really made me pay a little bit more attention to the POSITIVE things that have happened in the last few years. It also gave me some thinking time about the future.
If you are a journal-er these might be useful to use as prompts. If not, they might just be an interesting prompt for thinking…
What is something in the last 6 months that I accomplished that I’m proud of?
What is one thing in the last year that I’ll remember for the rest of my life?
What aspect in my life do I feel more accomplished/successful in? (Work, friendships, family, mental health, relationship, financially, social media, etc.)
If I could change one thing in the past year what would it be?
What are 3 things I did to help someone else recently?
What was hard before, but has become easy recently?
What are some things I am proudest of?
What’s one situation I experienced where I realized I did something differently than I would have before?
Who is one person who has made the biggest impact in my life? Why?
What are 3 lessons I have learned in the past year?
What advice would I give my younger self about something I’ve learned over the past year?
What are my top 3 goals I want to achieve over the next few months?
How do I plan on achieving those goals?
What characteristics highlight the best of who I am?
What is the one promise I will make for myself for the rest of my life?
Try it for yourself! Maybe you will find something new about yourself, or maybe it will bring you out of a funk. Or maybe it will bring you out of the mentality of “every day is the same routine” thoughts!
