What were your biggest successes last year?
By consciously reflecting on your successes, you discover which qualities and strategies truly help you move forward. You boost your self-confidence and lay the foundation for further growth.
Take some time to look back on the past year and make an overview of your most important successes.
The following questions may help you:
- What have you achieved?
- What are you proud of?
- What made you happy?
- Which obstacles have you overcome?
- Which new skills have you developed?
- What insights have you gained?
Some examples:
- “I passed my exam.”
- “I applied for a new position and got hired.”
- “I learned to recognize my stress and take breaks when needed.”
- “I started exercising and noticeably improved my fitness level.”
In the next assignment, you will use this list of successes to create your own ‘recipes for success.’
Tips:
- Look at the successes you’ve achieved in different areas of life: Relationships, Health, Education, Faith, Work, Finances, Leisure, and Environment.
- Consider the successes in the roles you’ve fulfilled over the past year.
- Don’t just focus on major achievements, but also on small, everyday victories.
