Summing up the results of the year is a kind of ritual. With the right approach to such a matter, you can get real benefits from the result. Why is it important to analyze the events of the past twelve months? What can this give?
Having decided to take stock at the end of this year, we must approach the matter very seriously. Otherwise, this will make very little sense.
It is best to sum up the results a couple of days before the end of December. You need to provide yourself with a calm and comfortable environment, free up at least a couple of hours of time, so that in the process you will not be distracted by anything, not be in a hurry and not be nervous. Just taking and writing down on a piece of paper what comes to mind first is not the most reasonable decision. We need to think, weigh, look at all spheres of life, try to remember even the smallest details in order to collect all this into a single whole. When the list of the results of the year is drawn up, it must be carefully re-read.
What is the use of the behavior of the totals for the year
- Reflection and analysis. This process allows you to carefully evaluate all the results obtained over the past twelve months. By compiling such a list, you can look from a different angle at some events, at formed habits, at the changes that have happened in life. Reflection presupposes an in-depth analysis of one's inner feelings, emotions that arose during the year, in the context of some situations or changes. The process of reflection with the analysis of the results allows you to penetrate deeper into yourself, to become closer to your inner “I”.
- Praise and self-esteem. Very often, when some positive events happen, when some small goals are achieved, a person rejoices only momentarily. After the euphoria passes, everything is forgotten. However, even small achievements are a good reason to praise yourself. Additional praise affects intrinsic motivation, self-esteem, and charges you with a positive. It is important to understand that speaking words of support and approval to yourself must be extremely sincere. Summing up the results of the year will allow for a while again to plunge a little into the past situation, when there was success and there was some achievement, to feel the echoes of pleasant feelings. Therefore, positive words addressed to you will be filled with sincerity.
- Work on bugs. Often people begin to write down what happened in a year in order to see what plans did not come true, what did not work out to be achieved, and so on. In addition, the results of the year, printed in a Word or written in a notebook by hand, help to understand the situation more clearly, why it was not possible to do everything that I wanted to do. During the period of re-reading the resulting text, a kind of work on errors occurs mentally. During such a process - both recording and analysis - you can catch insights, any ingenious thought necessary to achieve a particular goal.
- Liberation from negativity. Over the course of a year, negative emotions accumulate inside any person. Someone knows how to easily deal with them, but easily lets them go, making room within themselves for something new. But some people cannot boast of such skill. Writing down the results of the year before the winter holidays allows you, as it were, to live and let go of all the negativity, to enter the new year clean, renewed, without unnecessary negative experience.
- Personal energy renewal. This moment is closely related to the release of negativity. There is such a sign: before celebrating the New Year, it is imperative to take a shower, wash your hair in order to get rid of the "energy waste", and then put on everything new, then the next twelve months will be successful. This sign is not devoid of meaning. Summing up the results of the year, a person seems to let go of everything that is no longer needed or has lost its relevance. He opens himself to new events and feelings, renews himself internally. There is a readiness for change, a desire to act, move forward and develop.
