"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow."
– Albert Einstein

As the year comes to a close, I took some time for a little self-led end-of-year retreat—a quiet moment to reflect, release, and reset. I wanted to share a few tools I used in case they inspire your own practice. Journaling played a big part, helping me to process the lessons and growth of the past year and to set intentions for the one ahead.

If you have The Gentle Confidence Journal, the final pages are perfect for this exercise—they’re designed to guide you through meaningful reflection and intention-setting.

REFLECTING ON THE PAST YEAR:

What are 5 things I would subtract—things that didn’t work or felt misaligned?

What are 5 things I would add—something I missed or longed for?

What are 5 things I would multiply—what worked beautifully, brought joy, or I’m deeply grateful for?

As I step into the new year, what am I ready to release—things, habits, or beliefs that no longer serve my journey?

When I truly listen to the quiet voice within, what is my heart’s deepest desire?

If I were to step fully into my power and create a life that nurtures my well-being, what would I choose for myself in 2025?

What is my Sankalpa—my heartfelt intention or guiding principle for the year ahead?

Taking a moment to pause and reflect is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself. Research consistently shows that reflection helps to reduce stress, increase self-awareness, and improve problem-solving skills. A study published in Psychological Science highlights how reflective practices, including journaling, can enhance learning and emotional resilience, helping us make sense of past experiences and move forward with clarity.

I often tell my clients: journaling is like clearing your head. It’s a way to move stuck energy through your heart—letting your emotions and truths rise up, then flow out through your palm and fingers onto the paper. It’s freeing, it’s clearing, and it creates new space within you—space for fresh ideas, healing, and future manifestations.

By allowing your heart to speak in this way, you open a channel for deeper self-connection. You make room for what truly matters, shedding what no longer serves you. Reflecting and journaling aren’t just acts of expression—they’re acts of creation, shaping the energy you want to carry into your next chapter.
