Reflections--A Top Ten List of Year-End Questions
By : Michael Angier
In order to embrace the new, we must release the old. A trapeze
artist cannot swing from one bar to another without letting go.
An important part of preparing for the New Year is to review the
past year--to release it--and to learn from it.
To go where we wish to go and be whom we wish to be, we need to
know where we are and who we are. An honest self-analysis is
always helpful to gain clarity. As we end the year, the decade,
the century and the millennium, it seems particularly fitting to
devote some time to reflecting on the year past and where we
find ourselves as the new century dawns.
The following questions should stimulate your thinking for this
process. I hope that you take time out of your busy schedule
this holiday season to ponder where you are and where you've
been. Enter into discussions with people you care about. Write
out your thoughts and feelings. Do some journalling. Consider
writing a letter--an end-of the-year-epistle to yourself. It
could be profound to write it and valuable to read it in the
years ahead.
Reflect upon what you did, how you felt, what you liked, what
you didn't and what you learned. Try to look at yourself and
your experience with as much objectivity as you can-much like a
biographer would.
Here are some suggestions to get you started in mulling over the
past year-perhaps the last decade. Feel free to add your own.
In doing this, you'll be using the principle of
vacuum--releasing what you don't want and embracing what you do.
On New Year's Eve, my wife and I, along with several friends and
close family members will light a bonfire and burn our lists as
well as a few other articles that represent something we no
longer desire in our lives. For example, I plan to burn an old
(and too big) article of clothing to symbolize a less-than
impeccable wardrobe and garments that belong to a heavier person
than I am and will be.
I'm confident that anything you can do to make this year-end
more dramatic in terms of your own personal and spiritual growth
will be valuable.
Another Suggestion: Consider listing all the things in your life
of which you'd like to let go--anything you no longer want. Give
thanks for what they've brought you in terms of learning and
usefulness and then burn the list. It's a symbolic gesture to
help you release the old and be open to the new. The next step
is to list what you DO want-experiences, knowledge, material
things, relationships, healings, whatever.
Editor's Note: We're planning a "101 Best Questions to Ask
Yourself at Year-End". If you submit your suggestion(s), we'll
provide the final 101 list to you. Send your suggestion to
