Take FIVE: Five Creative Ways to Reflect On and Celebrate Your Achievements

Take Five: Five Creative Ways to Reflect On and Celebrate Your Achievements

You can take time to reflect on your achievements from this past year, but you can also document them in some way. Here are some creative ways to do it.

  1. Social Media: Create a picture collage, slide show, or reel to share on your favorite social media platform. Share images or graphics that represent some of your achievements from the year. Encourage your followers to join in and celebrate their victories, too.

    If you don’t have social media or want to reflect just for yourself, try one of these other four. 

  2. Reflective Journaling: Do a journal entry that lists and elaborates on your accomplishments. Jot down the lessons learned, challenges overcome, and the personal growth experienced. Journaling offers a way to reflect on your year.

  3. Vision Board or Collage: Get creative with a vision board or collage with photos, images, quotes, and symbols that represent your achievements from this past year. This visual representation can serve as a reminder of your journey in 2023.

     

  4. Digital Scrapbook: Create a digital scrapbook using online tools or apps (I like Canva). Compile photos and images and create captions to document your achievements. You can easily share this digital scrapbook or keep it for personal reflection.
     

  5. Gratitude Jar or Box: Start a gratitude jar or box. Write down each achievement on a small note and place it in the jar or container. Whenever you need a jolt of positivity, revisit these notes. This tangible reminder can be a source of inspiration throughout the year ahead.

Choose the method that resonates most with you, or try a combination for a multifaceted reflection experience. Celebrate your wins in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to you!
