Conversation guide
Before we add another list for next year… Shannah’s back, and we talk about ending the year with a bit of room to reflect and recover. Before rushing into another set of promises, what do we actually want to carry forward?
- Link one bedtime-prep job to finishing the dishes.
- Ask a woman a life stage ahead what helped her.
- Look back at what you appreciated and what drained you.
Reflect before adding another list.
What do I actually want to carry forward?
Try this week: Write three things from this year worth keeping before setting anything new.
These ideas come from our conversation. The activities are a few suggestions to try, when you’re ready. This guide does not endorse claims that a lack of stillness causes cancer or autoimmune disease. Reflection is not medical treatment.

I know. I think it's focusing on your nighttime routine. You know how everybody talks about your morning routine and you get up and you win the day. And we do that with the three M's, the make your bed, move your body, mindfully breathe. Then we pace the day, the marathon with the breath work in between. Yes. But then how do you finish? It's actually how do you set up tomorrow to win? So, what are the structures you put in place? So, you know, after dinner I brush my teeth because then otherwise I'll eat on the couch. Yeah. You know, for sure. It'll be 8:30 and I'll be looking for some morsel of something. So I already feel good that I'm not going to do that. And then a bit of stretching, a bit of legs up the wall while I'm watching Netflix, because that's what I want to do. Yeah. I want to watch Netflix. I love it. Yeah. Um, so how can I make my routines get me ready for tomorrow? And part of it is we have to honor recovery. So if we're going to be these really fast super duper achievers, we have to build in a little bit of recovery that's a doable, not time out. Yeah, yeah. That's actually on top of what I'm already watching TV. So I can stretch and put my legs up the wall.
