We’re fully into November.
The clocks have changed, daylight savings has started on both sides of the pond, and the evenings are drawing in.
With just 7 weeks left (yes, really!), it’s a useful moment to press pause before we head fully into the darker months and the busy-ness of the end of the year. To reflect on what’s behind us, and what we can see ahead of us.
It’s something I always find it helpful - a way to gather the threads of where I am and what’s been going on, and re-orient myself for what comes next - often so hard to do in the busy-ness of my everyday life!
So, take a moment to think back to the start of the year:
Where were you in your life? What were you focused on?
What have you been up to since then?
What are you proud of?
What have you discovered - about yourself, or from experience?
Where have you struggled or had challenges?
And a moment to look ahead:
From what you can see now, what do the next 7 weeks involve?
Is there anything you need to plan for or get ahead of?
What would you love to be celebrating at the end of the year?
What might get lost if you don’t make time for it now?
Is there an easy step you can take this week to get the ball rolling?
This can take as little or as long as you like - it’s not about doing it perfectly.
Even a few minutes to take a step back can be such a gift.
From a personal perspective, and also a practical one - to find our feet in the moment, and set ourselves up for what comes next.
Wishing you all a wonderful week,
