4 Easy Steps To Close Out The Year

4 Easy Steps To Close Out The Year

The end of the year is almost here.  It’s time to close out the year.

It’s now only 2 days until the sun goes down on 2019.  And, only 2 days until the end of another calendar decade.

A great way to close out the year is to have an end of year ritual.

Four Easy Steps

Here are four easy steps you can follow to finish this year, to start clearing the decks for 2020. 

  1. Make a list of mistakes, failures or regrets you have from during the year.  
  2. On a separate piece of paper, write down at least one thing that you learned from each word or your list. 
  3. Create a short ‘letting it go’ affirmation.  These words will represent the core elements of what you want to surrender for the year.
  4. Set your list of 2019 mistakes, failures and regrets on fire.  It’s time to let go of these negative thoughts about the past year.  Read the ‘letting it go’ affirmation you wrote down, and then set your list on fire. 

Then, if you haven’t done so already, schedule a date for writing down your goals for 2020. You can get my free Goals Setting Checklist by clicking here.

Doing today’s four quick steps is a great way for you to close out the year.

Do you have another favourite way to close out the year?  I’d love to hear.

With warm regards

Lisa
