Hey everyone, it's Adrienne here. This week, I want to share a message with you to encourage you all

to reflect on the year, to look back at 2022 what a year it has been before you start to look ahead to next year,

before we start to make plans and set goals and start to think about all the things we want

to tick off next year. I think it's incredibly valuable and important to really give yourself

credit and to celebrate the wins, the joys, and to recognise all of the

other things, the good, the bad, everything in between. So much happens in one year. So a great

place to start is to actually look back at your calendar. Go all the way back to January,

to February, to March, look through your camera roll on your phone, look at the things that you

thought were important enough to take a photo or a video of, and look at who you've spent this

year with, who have you spent your valuable time with, which places did you visit, what good

work did you do? And I thought I'd also share some questions that you could use as prompts to kind of get you started and get you thinking.

So question number one is all about joy.

What are the things, people and places that bring you joy, that have brought you joy in 2022?

What are the things that have made you smile, made you laugh, made you feel joyful, made you feel

silly and fun and carefree? I think joy is so underrated and when we think about our lives

and we think about setting goals, how many times do you prioritize goals that are going to enhance

the joy in your life? Now, we often in the well-being space, we talk about how stress

can be debilitating and stress can be bad for our health. Mental stress can be bad for our mental

health, but also for our physical health and our bodies. And of course, the opposite is true.

So if we are doing things that relieve stress, things that make us happy, things that bring us joy, that is going to have the opposite effect.

It's going to have a positive outcome for our physical and our mental health.

So have a think about it.
