@CTVNews You have to read the article to see that he needed help, looked for help and Canada’s health system failed. More and more, I hear of cases like this. Canada’s health system is crashing and there’s no accountability from our leaderships. It’s so sad.
Every December, I conduct a Personal Annual Review.
It is a transformative exercise for reflection and growth.
Here are 7 simple questions that may change your life:
1. What did I change my mind on this year?
The most successful people realize that finding the truth is much more important than being right. They embrace new information as "software updates" to their brain.
What “software updates” did I have this year?
If you can’t think of any, that’s a bad thing.
2. What created energy this year?
Important: When you follow what gives you energy, you drive the best outcomes.
Reflect on your calendars from the year:
What activities, people, or projects consistently created energy in my life? Write them down.
Did I spend ample time on these Energy Creators or did they get neglected?
Goal: Spend more time on these in 2025.
3. What drained energy this year?
Continue your calendar reflection, but with an inverted focus:
What activities, people, or projects consistently drained energy from my life? Write them down.
Did I allow the Energy Drainers to persist or did I manage them in real time?
Goal: Spend less time on these in 2025.
4. What were the boat anchors in my life?
Boat anchors are people, mindsets, and actions that hold you back from your potential:
• People who belittle you or laugh at your ambitions
• Self-limiting beliefs
• Self-sabotaging behaviors
• Bad habits that cut into your growth
Identify what boat anchors existed in your life.
Goal: Eliminate or minimize the energy you give them in 2025.
5. What did I not do because of fear?
The thing you fear the most is often the thing you most need to do.
Reflect on your fear and confront it. Deconstruct the fears that held you back:
• What was the downside if I had taken action?
• What was the upside if I had taken action?
Goal: Get closer to your fears in 2025.
6. What were my greatest hits and worst misses this year?
Your natural bias skews how you see your year:
• The optimist sees all hits
• The pessimist sees all misses
Take a balanced view: Write down your hits and your misses.
Reflect on why the hits hit and the misses missed.
7. What did I learn this year?
It's easy to lose sight of your progress and growth when you are zoomed in.
Take your time on this one. Reflect on the other questions from the exercise.
Write down what you've learned.

The Personal Annual Review is a transformative exercise. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
If you want to go deeper, I'm hosting a Personal Annual Review workshop on December 16, where I'll be diving in on the process, sharing my own reflections, and answering questions.
Attendees will receive the 2024 Personal Annual Review E-Book Template, which can be used to complete your own exercise before year end.
The event will be live and recorded for all registered guests.
To join, preorder one copy of my book and submit your info and order number at the link below.

Threads were intended for major shifts. Things that couldn't be explained in 1 tweet. We'd planned to use one every 6-7 weeks. But this is our third thread in a month. And we're writing this one because we've hit a critical point. We'll get to that, but first let's chat.
