You made it! Hooray! I'm so glad you decided to click through to get started on your Guiding Star 2019.
That's not a typo in this post's title. That's short for accomplishments and disappointments, which you'll be discovering in today's exercise. In other words, The Ments.
Materials: For this exercise, you will need something to write on or in. A journal, a computer, or scratch paper - doesn't matter. You are writing this for yourself. No one else will see it, unless you choose to show it to someone.
Time: I recommend that you set a timer for 10 minutes for each section; that's a total of 20 minutes. Want to spend more time on this exercise? Go ahead.
Pro Tip: I find myself contemplating my Ments for most of December. I try to store them away mentally until today, when I take the time to write them down. 20 minutes goes quickly for me, so I am open to writing more down throughout the day as they pop up.
Here we go:
#1 - List 5-10 accomplishments of the past year. Contemplate your personal life, your career, your relationships, how you spent your time. Examples:
Saw my sister graduate from college
Kept an exercise routine for 3 months
Feb. work project was huge success
Disney World :)
Ate more vegetables
Manifested a raise!
Spent a day hiking with Melinda
#2 - Now list 5-10 disappointments of the past year. As with the accomplishments, consider all aspects of your life. Examples:
Didn't reach my target income
Mom died
Still feel angry too often
Couldn't find the time for dance classes
Miss my friends
Congratulations! You're all done for today.
