A Year Under the Microscope – 8 Unexpected Questions for Self-Reflection
The end of the year is a perfect time to sit down with a notebook and ask yourself a few unexpected questions. We love reflections, so we have prepared a set of topics that will help you slip into your inner world and look at your everyday life from a slightly different perspective.
Perhaps you have been thinking about starting a journal for a long time but lack a starting point. We hope this short list of questions sparks your curiosity and inspires you to reach for your favorite pen and notebook.
- Which moments of the year do I find myself thinking about most often? What did they mean to me?
- What brought me a sense of comfort this year, even if only for a moment?
- What turned out to be easier than it seemed at first?
- Which objects brightened my everyday life? What do they say about me?
- If this year had a texture, weight, and color – what would they be and why?
- Which small ritual do I want to carry into the next year, even if everything else changes?
- What do I want to write on the first page of a new notebook or planner before any plans appear?
- Which word do I want to see in the margin of my everyday life in the new year and what should it remind me of?
You don’t have to answer all the questions, but from experience we know that even answering one of them will warm your memories and encourage further exploration. Give yourself the time and space to listen to yourself and see where your discoveries lead.
