How My Year In Review Helped Me Manifest My Dreams

This time last year, I had just moved into a new place. I worked a typical corporate in-office 9 to 5, and I wasn’t sure when I would ever find another work-from-home position again. However, I didn’t settle. I avoided positions that didn’t fit my goals, values, and expectations and spent the rest of my time building up my stamina in running.

A year later, I settled into my little section of Southern California, found a primarily remote job, and ran a marathon in 5 hours and 55 minutes. I let my mind wander to various goals, and while doing so, I made the tiniest changes to my daily life that favored my preferred overall outcomes and received exactly what I asked for. I had used my year in review to manifest my difficult but very reasonable dreams.

Every year, I try to imagine what my New Year’s celebration will look like next year. I think about who I would want to spend the time with and then focus on how to get there. Last year, I signed up for a marathon and took my time finding a team of people I would like to work with, and I found a solid group.

The holiday season is a wonderful time filled with fun and family, but it’s also a very important time for looking back on the year and reviewing what you find to plan for the future. It’s beneficial to ask yourself what you have learned, what you’re grateful…
