Make this year your best one ever
Reflecting on the year and finding the blessing with Tony and Sage RobbinsEven when it’s been a challenging year, there are so many blessings – if we take the time to stop and look. If we understand that life is happening for us, not to us. If we see obstacles as opportunities and learn to find the beauty in everything around us. If we realize that everything we are going through is actually a gift, helping us to grow and evolve.
A new year is a time for reflection. In this third and final Fireside Chat, Tony and Sage share the rituals they do together with their family each year to help them reconnect, ground themselves in gratitude and appreciate everything that’s happened in the past 12 months.
The Robbins’ new year traditions
The first thing Tony and Sage do each year is make a slideshow. Choose your favorite photos, set it to music and play it for the whole family. Notice how much goes on in a year. Talk about the ups and downs. Remember your best times and be grateful for them.
Next, pull out your calendar and your journal if you have one. Note your big accomplishments (and the little ones!), remember the magic moments and reconnect to the joy and laughter that can easily be forgotten. Consider the challenges of the past year, too, through a different lens – the circumstances or situations that may have caused pain at the time but pushed you to evolve and grow, build resilience and forge progress.
Sage likes to set the environment as well. She plays the family’s favorite music, lights the fire and sets the lighting just right. Her favorite part is that, while everyone is having their own experience, the family is also sharing an experience. It’s the perfect way to end the year – even when the year was imperfect.
Get coaching. Get results.
How to have an extraordinary year
As Tony says, “You are more than anything that could happen to you.” Be your best self, no matter the environment. Discipline your disappointment and focus on what’s right. Trade your expectations for appreciation. Remember that life is about giving, not getting – and you get back what you give tenfold.
