As a Coach I know that the best way to move into a new year or a new season is to reflect on the season you have been in.  A few days ago my sister shared a tool with me that asks some significantly poignant questions that I wanted to pass on to you.

Questions are key when contemplating good change; some of these questions may give you the opportunity to look deeper into the season you’ve been in and help you to set a more meaningful course for your season ahead.

Let me share a few with you:

1.  What was the most important event that took place this past year; how did it impact you?
2. What area has consumed your thinking, attention, and focus this past year? Have you addressed it or do I need to address it in this new year?
3. What are the names of the people who have been the most life-giving to you this past year?  Who has sucked you dry?  What changes might you need to make?
4. Who is your community?  Is it robust enough?
5. How do you feel about your church experience this past year?  What about your prayer life?
6. How many hours have you managed to sleep on an average this past year? do you need to make any changes to get the rest you need this year?
7. What made you the happiest this past year? did you adequately celebrate the moment? how can you reproduce that experience this year?
8. In the past year have you lived to work or worked to live?
9. What might be your Big Hairy Audacious Goal this year? (BHAG) Something that stretches you and your faith!
10. How can you make a difference in your community this year?

These are just a few questions to consider as you assess where you’ve been and where you’d like to go in 2019!

Happy, Happy New Year to you!
