Did November creep up on anyone else?! There are just two months left in 2023, so it’s time to end the year strong and intentional! In this episode, I share a year-end review process that you can use to celebrate your past accomplishments, identify life lessons, build self-trust, and make the most of the next two months! Year-end review questions: What intentions/goals/resolutions (if any) did you set last year? Did you stick to your resolution or intention? Did you reach your goal? What worked last year? Challenge yourself to think of 10 – 15 accomplishments and other things you can celebrate from the past year. What didn’t work? Why didn’t these things work? What thoughts or beliefs led you to this outcome? What life lessons did you learn? You can find the full show notes here.

Have you constantly been told that comparing yourself to others is a bad thing? I disagree. We human beings are wired for comparison, so trying to banish it from our lives is a losing battle. It’s natural, neutral, and not a problem unless we use comparison to put ourselves down or inflate our egos. In this episode, I share how we can instead use our brain's tendency to compare for good and as fuel for our personal growth. If you often compare yourself to others and feel bad about it this episode is for you! Reflection Questions: What, exactly am I comparing here? In what ways, specifically, do I feel like I don’t measure up? What does this person have or achieved that I want? What actions did they take to achieve this or get this? What thoughts caused them to take those actions? I’m currently reading (and loving!) Katie Silcox’s new book, Glow-Worthy: Practices for Awakening Your Inner Light and Loving Yourself as You Are—Broken, Beautiful, and Sacred. Learn more about Nidhi Pandya here.

This endless, depleting cycle of trying to validate our worth inevitably leads to burnout and resentment. Luckily, your worth isn’t based on external achievements. You can develop unshakable self-worth right now - just as you are. Tune in for today’s self-worth pep talk!
