Reflecting on the Past Year: 3 Simple Prompts to See Growth and Move Forward


Listen Later

As the year winds down, are you feeling like it’s all been a blur? Maybe you’re wondering if anything meaningful even happened. In this episode of Priorities on Purpose, I’m re-sharing a simple, yet powerful reflection practice that I’ve been doing for the past few years—and it’s made all the difference in how I see my progress, even during the hardest seasons.

I’ll walk you through three journal prompts that help you:

  • Recognize the good moments (even if you feel like the year was tough)
  • Identify the hard parts and what they taught you
  • Gain clarity on what you want more of in the year ahead
  • This isn’t about setting overwhelming goals—it’s about celebrating growth, acknowledging the lessons, and allowing God to show you how He’s been working. I use this practice every year, and it’s one of the most encouraging ways to reset and step forward with intention.

    And hey—if you’re craving more structure and support, I’d love for you to join Operation Reset, a free 5-day workshop designed to help you realign your priorities, reclaim your time, and step into the next season with confidence.
