Start with Self-Knowledge
- When it comes to seasonal routines and holiday traditions, do you want to try anything new this year? Anything you could skip or do differently?
- What’s your one-word theme for the season? If you chose a one-word theme for the whole year, how does it apply to the holiday season?
- How do your aims or habits shift during the season? If your aims change or you need to allow yourself some planned exceptions, remember to keep them specific and concrete.
