Your Year That Was... And the Year That Will Be

What if the most important part of your year is happening right now, in these last few weeks of November?

Before December sweeps us into its swirl of celebrations, commitments, and interruptions, this is the moment to pause.

This is the real end of the fall quarter… the perfect window to reflect before the world gets noisy again.

Wherever you’re reading this, let me invite you to take a couple of relaxed, deeper abdominal breaths.  Let your jaw, neck, and shoulders soften.  Let your mind settle.  Put your awareness on the front of your mind for a few moments and notice how your prefrontal cortex obeys your direction.  Notice the awareness there right behind your forehead.

Now ask yourself, “As I look back over the last year, what were a few of the highlights I’m truly proud of?”

Give yourself space to recall the best moments that found you in 2025.  Let it bring a quiet inside smile to your heart.  You attracted those moments, you claimed them… honour them.

Maybe you’re realizing it was a stronger year than you gave yourself credit for.  Maybe it was even better than you thought.

Sure, the challenges are always there and they’ll gladly take over your thinking if you let them… but not right now.  Right now is for gratitude… for the people in your life, for the progress you have made, and for the freedom to grow in the ways you will choose moving fwd.

Spend 5-10 minutes now just sitting with that question.  What are you proud of from this past year?

Then one more question, with a small invitation. Stay in that relaxed, spacious headspace for a moment longer.

In that space of calm possibility, what do you want to create or make happen in your life in 2026?  No limits.  Just space, clarity, and what feels possible.  

A year is a big chunk of time to get meaningful things done.  

We overestimate what we can do in 3 months, but we underestimate what we can do in 12.

If you feel like it, email me what you discover.  I’d genuinely love to hear what you’re envisioning for 2026.

Grateful you’re here,

Coach Chris
