This meditation asks you to START with a journal prompt before diving into the meditation, so don't skip it. The journal prompt before diving into the guided meditation is: What went well this year? Focus on feelings, ways you nourished and honored yourself, and all that you were able to accomplish OR learn about yourself as a result. Nothing has to be tangible but the way you feel - the intangibles and personal growth - counts for just as much as the tangibles. Now you may proceed to the guided meditation! It starts at 5:20. If you enjoy the meditation, screenshot it, share it on IG, and tag me at @isabellekoritsas so we can connect! Sending you all the love in the world as we tie up loose ends of this year and make room for what gets to come next! xx Isabelle
