My Personal Annual Review: 7 Simple Questions That Will Challenge and Change My Life.

I began following Sahil Bloom this past year. I’ve really enjoyed his thoughts and his newsletter.

Sahil’s Personal Annual Review made me think and reflect on a very tough year. Here are his 7 questions, and my 7 answers.

1. What did I change my mind about this year?

Funeral Service: I had to let go of being in charge, the sleepless nights, working holidays, weekends, etc. I thought funeral service was all I knew or could do.

Support: I always thought I would be fine on my own. I was wrong.

2. What created energy this year?

Activities: Attending church, nature walks, waking up earlier, cutting out alcohol.

Projects: Writing my 3rd (published) and 4th books (TBA 2023), decluttering social media/apps.

People: Pastors, family, entrepreneurs, co-workers, therapists.

3. What drained energy this year?

Activities: Work, substances, playing poker, staying up late

Projects: posting nonsense on Instagram, Facebook, etc.

People: Non-friends, co-workers, and grieving families served.

4. Who were the boat anchors in my life?

Myself, co-workers, families served, my cousin, users, and abusers.
