Before December’s fast pace begins

A moment to pause
December often arrives with a full schedule: events, reunions, celebrations, trips.
It’s a month that tends to pull us outward, even when inside we feel a need for calm — to sort through what we’ve lived and make room for what’s coming.
Before the rhythm accelerates, you may want to offer yourself a moment of pause.
A breath to look back at this year with honesty and gentleness: what has supported you, what no longer resonates, and what you wish to carry into the next cycle.
Year-end journaling prompts
What do I want to leave behind because it no longer reflects who I am?
