Completion for 2022
23/11/2022

Congratulations! Hopefully you have tiptoed through the holiday tripwires of family, food and festivity to arrive at a delicious place of reflection. Snuggle in and make some time to have next year be on purpose, from the very start! I have been completing this for many years and have the final page pinned up above my desk to revisit daily throughout the whole year. Enjoy...

This short exercise will support you to complete 2022 and begin 2023 with positive intention and practical, heartfelt steps to wonderful year. I thank all the thinkers and coaching that I have borrowed and in turn the inspired minds they borrowed from.

"Completion" doesn't mean that things are finished, or that things are rosy. Rather, completion is about making things whole, or fully letting things be as they are, or as they are not. When something is incomplete, it drains energy from you, and hangs around like ghosts. When you complete with something, or someone, you take that energy back. You accept (a loss), or celebrate (a win), or you just simply decide to complete the incomplete. Oftentimes, a ritual helps, like burning the worksheet, or popping a champagne cork. We get to be imaginative.

So, here are some things you can do on your own, or with a friend or partner or coach. It can be a wonderful time to share and be intimate.

COMPLETING THE OLD: 2022

Step One: Looking at all the areas of your life, reflect on 2022.

1. List all of your Wins, Gains, and Breakthroughs. And mark each one as either Complete or Incomplete.

Find a date in which you might want to complete an incomplete item. For example, you finished a marathon, but you haven't completed on the fundraising side. Set 1st February to complete that. I sometimes find with a win, or a success, what completes the win is some kind of ritual to celebrate and acknowledge myself.

2. List all of your Losses, Disappointments, and Breakdowns. (And accept them.)

And again, mark each one to see if you are complete or incomplete, and set a date to complete them. (You might not know HOW to complete, never mind, just set a date.)

Step Two: Look at 6-8 lessons you have learned this past year that you want to carry into 2023. Remember, when thinking of what to include, that you will want to consciously use these lessons in the coming year.

Here are some examples:
I learned last year:
• Planning is good and I prepare for a Saboteur attack with Activate Power .
• Follow the plan and be in THAT moment - have a notebook to record distractions and return to focus.
• Make time for learning every day.
• Morning routine is a VITAL start to my day!

In a coaching session, we could look at this list, refine it and clarify the lessons learned.

CREATING THE NEW - 2023

Step One: Imagine ahead to December 2023
Write a list of your Wins, Gains, and Breakthroughs for 2023. Be specific and write them as though they have already happened or they happen routinely.

(For example, "I regularly bring in £x per month and limit working hours to x.") Look at each area of your life and make the list as long as you like. In your coaching session, we could look at how to make this list happen.

Step Two: Give the year to come a Name.

If next year was a movie, what would it's title be? Some past names have been: Year of “Brave and Bold!” Year of “Make it happen“

This process is yours to make your own. Many clients have loved the focus it brings to the New Year and the opportunity to consciously create your life. Make 2023 your most potent, enJOYable year so far!

HANDY WORKSHEET: to print or to copy into your journal or wherever is most convenient.
