As the year comes to a close, it’s a perfect time for self-reflection and introspection. To help you navigate this process, here are 10 journal questions to ponder and explore:

• Describe your present moment: Take a moment to observe where you are physically, mentally, and emotionally. How does it feel to be in this space and time?

• Acknowledge your emotions: Boldly name and explore the emotions that are arising within you. What might be the reasons behind these emotions?

• Reflect on the past year: Look back at the peaks and valleys of each month. How do you feel when you consider the year as a whole?

• Letting go of certain feelings: Of the emotions that arise, are there any that you wish to leave behind as you enter the new year?

• Inviting positive emotions: Which emotions do you want to cultivate and carry with you into the next year?

• Memorable moments: Recall five specific moments from the past year when you experienced a positive emotion that you want to experience more of in the future.

• Identify the factors: What contributed to those moments? Was it the people around you, the achievement of a goal, or something intangible?

• Creating space for positive emotions: How can you embody or create space for these positive emotions to invite more similar moments in the coming year?

• Calling in desires: Consider what you want to manifest in your personal and professional life in the new year. Feel free to list general aspirations or specific goals.

• Aligning with desires: Reflect on where you currently stand in manifesting your desires. Are there any shifts or changes within yourself that may be necessary? Identify one tangible step you can take in the new year to bring your desires closer, and commit to it.

Remember to conclude your journaling session by expressing gratitude. Consider sharing your gratitude with others whenever possible.

Finally, set a reminder to review your reflections in one year, if not sooner. Make this writing ritual an annual practice to track your growth and self-discovery.

Feel free to explore these prompts and embark on a journey of self-reflection and growth as the year comes to an end.
