Now that you’ve done a year’s worth of actions and had so many new and challenging experiences, it’s time to do some reflecting. Reflection is crucial to self-improvement and gives us the right kind of self-awareness to truly move forward in life. Write a short journal entry on these four things: the most fun action you’ve done, the most difficult action, the most surprising action, and the most heartwarming action. This is the last action, so really spend some time thinking about it. When you’ve finished, talk through your observations with a close friend or a family member. Chances are, your reflection will inspire them to embark on a year of action, too.
