As the year winds down, I took some time to sit with our Annual Reflection Mini-Guide (more on this below), and I was reminded of how powerful this practice can be. At first glance, I felt like not much had changed over the past year. Sure, I’d physically moved states, but in many ways, I thought I was pretty much where I was last December.
But as I dug deeper into the questions and gave myself the space to really reflect, I saw that small but significant shifts had happened — ones that I might have overlooked without this process.
Here are a few key lessons I uncovered:
Small steps lead to big shifts. Even when progress doesn’t feel monumental, it adds up in ways that matter.
Care for the basics. In chaotic times, I’ve learned the importance of holding steady with the essentials — rest, movement, and space to think.
Adaptation and stillness. Growth doesn’t always come from charging ahead. Sometimes, it’s about pausing to recalibrate or shifting direction when needed.
Repetition builds mastery. Taking on new challenges, even imperfectly, has helped me stretch and grow in meaningful ways.
All leading me to my word for 2025: Ease. Ease, not easy. I’m finding ways to let go of unnecessary effort while still showing up fully for what matters most.
These reflections have given me a clearer picture of the growth and resilience this year has brought — growth that might not look flashy but has been deeply impactful.
