Give yourself the gift of reflection and planning

Beyond Neutral

As the holiday season approaches, Paula Reid challenges listeners to step back from the hustle and bustle of holiday preparations to focus on themselves. In this special episode of Beyond Neutral, Paula introduces a simple yet impactful three-step process for ending the year with gratitude and setting the stage for personal success in the new year.

Key Takeaways

1. Celebrate Your Wins (2:45) Reflect on your accomplishments from the past year. What personal strengths or capacities helped you achieve these wins? Paula encourages listeners to take a moment to celebrate and express gratitude for their successes.

2. Learn and Let Go (6:10) Review the moments that didn’t go as planned. Identify what might have gone wrong, what lessons you can take away, and then grant yourself the grace to let those setbacks go.

3. Plan for the Future (9:20) What do you want to accomplish in the upcoming year? Paula emphasizes the importance of choosing one thing to start, stop, or do differently to move closer to your goals.

Call to Action This holiday season, give yourself the gift of reflection and planning. Take just five minutes—or as long as 50 minutes—to pause, assess your year, and set intentions for the future. And as you look ahead to 2025, ask yourself: What do you want it to look like?

Be sure to tune in next season as Paula dives into creating personal development plans with actionable insights from real coaching sessions. Until then, have a wonderful holiday season, take a deep breath, and remember: in January, you get to start fresh.

Keep driving forward—and we’ll see you in 2025!
