Celebrating your 2023 top 10
/
I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend.
And, the season of celebration continues in full swing!
As the New Year approaches it is peak Top 10 List season. Why not get in on the fun in a personal way?
Make a 2023 Top 10 list for yourself
Amidst the festivities at this time of year, making a personal Top 10 List is a great way to look at the bounty in your life.
Choose from these ideas, add others of your own, and feel free to include more than 10 items on your list!
Best conversation
Brightest moment of joy
Best adventure
A notable moment of creative flow
The best outcome of a challenge you overcame
Best taste, smell, feeling, sound, or lovely sensory sensation
Best surprise you experienced
Your most generous act or thought
The most fun you experienced
The boldest thing you did
A time you felt your best physically
A peak moment of gratitute to savor
Your most precious memory of the year
A significant moment when love filled your heart
The thing you are most proud of
A peak moment — for any reason
The biggest insight to bring into the new year
With your list in hand, you might want to type-set it in a great font. (The designer in me loves the magic of beautiful typography to enhance the impact of big ideas and insights!)
You can print out your list and post it where you’ll be able to frequently reflect on the highlights of your year.
Savoring the best about yourself and the best things in your life will naturally fill you with gratitude and self-love. These are precious and meaningful ways to bring great energy into the coming year.
As you look ahead
As you bring your focus on 2024 front and center, consider choosing a word to guide your year. This has been an inspiring and meaningful practice for me and for my clients for a long time.
I’ve written several blog posts about the word-of-the-year process I developed. My process helps you go deep and find a word with significance and resonance.
I invite you to check it out.
I wrote this post in 2019, and it links you back to a post from the previous year, that details my process for choosing a great word for the year.
And this post was written last year, with some perspective on my experiences using the process.
I will be moving through this process for myself, as I look ahead to a year of expansion and evolution. I will share my word and more about the big new ideas that I am excited about early in the new year.
Let me know what you choose for 2024!
My wishes for you this week (and beyond)
Make sweet time for yourself amidst the holiday bustle.
Know how grateful I am for the honor of being invited into your inbox each week.
avor love, joy, beauty, the company of good people, and the possibilities and creative energy available to you every day.
Bring your precious magic into the world — whether in tiny droplets on some days, or by the boat-load on other days.
Make the most of today, tomorrow, and every day as you believe in the abundant opportunities for peace, love and happiness. Live Big!
