Reflect, Recharge, and Lead with Intention

Welcome back to the Recalibration Station! We’re one week into the New Year—how are you feeling? Energized by the possibilities? Pressured to tackle it all at once? Or maybe somewhere in between?

Let’s take a collective pause and reflect.

Looking Back to Move Forward

Last year is officially in the books, but before we dive headfirst into this one, it’s important to reflect. Growth doesn’t happen automatically—it’s the result of intentionally learning from our experiences.

Ask yourself:

• What did I accomplish last year that I’m proud of?

• What challenges helped me grow the most?

• What unfinished goals or dreams do I want to revisit?

Reflection isn’t about reliving the past—it’s about using it as a springboard for what’s next.

Leading Yourself into 2025

Self-leadership is about taking ownership of your choices and actions. As you set your intentions for the year, consider these questions:

• Am I pacing myself or sprinting toward burnout?

• Are my goals aligned with what truly matters to me?

• How can I stay grounded when challenges arise?

Burnout is a common roadblock, especially at the start of a new year when enthusiasm runs high. To help, here’s a link to assess if you’re at risk for burnout and strategies to combat it: https://tinkern.org/wellness-resources/are-you-at-risk-for-burnout

Finding Joy in the Everyday

In the midst of goal-setting and planning, don’t forget to look for and acknowledge moments of joy. Joy isn’t always loud or flashy—it’s often found in the quiet, fleeting moments we might otherwise overlook.

• That shared glance or eye contact held a second longer.

• A hug that lingers just a little more.

• A kindness exchanged between two strangers.

• A peaceful pause in the chaos of the day to take a deep breath and simply be.

Practice gratitude by noticing these moments. They’re small reminders of what’s good and meaningful in your life.
