Another year has almost gone by, but now is the perfect opportunity to reflect and build a plan for next year.
I've come up with a set of questions to help you reflect, focus and build a plan to make your 2015 a successful year that embraces mindfulness and conscious living.
By reflecting on moments that happened in your life, externally and internally, you get deep into your subconscious and reassess whether your goals are in line with your priorities and values. Not only this process will help you get to know yourself better, but it will also help you reshape your focus and feel more inspired as you think through.
Go and get a pen, print these questions out and read them. When you're ready find a happy place without distractions and write your answers down.
Remember, there's no correct answers and you're your own judge.
1. Describe your 2014 in three words
2. What was your most common mental state this year (e.g., happy, excited, tired, bored or stressed)?
3. What was the biggest event in your life this year?
4. What were your three happiest moments?

16. How did you spend time with your family and how did the relationship evolve?
17. What or who had the biggest positive impact on your life this year?
18. What was the most important lesson you learnt in 2014?
19. If you could turn back time, what would you have done differently?
20. What advice would you give to other people about what you have learned this year?

28. What do you want your day-to-day life to be like in 2015?
29. What do you want to completely get rid of in your life and in 2015 you will make it happen?
