You Know What You Know

This year is wrapping up (and that doesn’t mean you have to get in a rush to wrap things up or fret about what you have not accomplished) and you know what you have accomplished or learned. It doesn’t matter if the accomplishments or goals were huge or small. It matters whether you completed them or improved in some area. Instead of focusing on what you didn’t do right now, focus on what you did do, what you have learned and table those other things for next month or next year. This month is observation of completion and not in a way of finality but think of it as a cycle of some sort that has ended or is ending.

And what that being said, next month you should prepare for what is next in your life. It’s a co-mingling of what is and what you desire. It’s reviewing and planning. This can cause frustration but what I am finding is a method that can separate where I have been and what I have done this year and what’s left that is not going to happen and where I want to go. On a tablet or sheet of paper, I write down what I have accomplished or learned this year and I leave it open all month as things come to me. There is another list of things that are just not going to happen this year. It, too, is left open. Next month and January I will begin to think about what’s next but there is no pressure for that this month.

Think of it as tidying up your life in different areas before winter sets in. Oh, and don’t compare the lists. It’s counterproductive. You KNOW what you have done and what you have learned this year. It doesn’t have to be a million things. It can just be one and that can be all that you need.

YOU KNOW November
