In my twelve monthly themes, November is the month for reflection.
As the year moves towards its end it can be helpful to take a month to focus on reflection before the hectic busy-ness of the holiday season in December begins.
It’s not necessarily a month for making decisions, plans or setting priorities. There will be time for all that soon. But it is good to just reflect, to think back over the year, month by month, or event by event, and just note it. I think it’s helpful to write about this in a notebook, and some people take a few minutes at the start or end of each day in November to write some reflections on the year.
Once you move into December, and onwards into the brand new year in January, this collection of reflections can be a valuable resource.
