LINDSAY’S DECEMBER LETTER: REFLECT ON YOUR PAST WINS ALONG WITH YOUR FUTURE GOALS
which I am sure you’re incredibly aware of based on the stack of projects, papers and finals that currently stand between you and your long-awaited winter-break.
was the flow of the academic calendar, and the natural shifts it created.
There are of course busy times and stressful times– yes, but then there are slower times with breaks carved out to reset, reflect and plan ahead.
I still get to live within this university schedule... and the main reason I love this is because you and I are often in the same stage of this cycle together!
I’m preparing our Semester Impact Reports to reflect on the success of our program on your campus.
I’ll also be stepping back to reflect on things I’m proud of this semester, and ways my team and I can do an even better job Spring Semester.
So while you’re reflecting on the goals you set for yourself this semester and planning what you want to accomplish next semester… So am I!
Make sure you spend enough time focusing on your WINS…
It can be so easy for us to skip past this part, and jump right into the next thing. Like perfecting our schedules, setting new goals, pushing ourselves harder, and bracing the bits of stress and fear that start to arise when looking ahead.
Trust me, I am equally guilty of this as anyone else… probably even more.
But if we jump right into this, we are holding ourselves back from experiencing the joy of everything we just accomplished!
There’s plenty of time to think about what you want to do better, but give yourself the chance to celebrate what you did great first.
