My win: I took care of my aunt in her death process this year. I didn’t think I could do that once upon a time. We had a beautiful process together. I miss her.

A great quote that I was reminded of while watching your video : Bloom where you are planted. <3

So last week I finally launched my etsy store, it's something I have basically been wanting to do my whole life so I'm really proud of myself! For me, doing that made me think of how I'm always afraid of doing things and how anxiety holds me back a lot. So, today I started reading a book called "feel the fear and do it anyway". I've heard about this book in the past, and just the title alone helped me a lot. Whenever I felt anxious over something and was scared to do something, I kept thinking "feel the fear and to it anyway" as a way to just accept that I'm afraid, but not let it hold me back. After opening my shop I just felt like I owed it to the book to actually go ahead and read it. I hope it'll give me more insight and more tools to handle my anxiety more.

Because of how upsetting this year has turned out I've completely forgotten some of my wins, like moving out of home. This year was supposed to be my year of growth and this reminded me that the year is not over yet 😊💕

Thank you! This is simple and straightforward. Those question are well chosen and every of my chaotic topics finds a place in there. It's not just a repetition of my typical journal and goal setup, but goes way deeper. I want to thank you so much!

One of my wins has been discovering bullet journaling and these videos! I have been struggling for years trying to find something that spoke to both sides of my brain and allowed me to finally use all the stationary and art supplies I kept collecting ( in the sure belief that I would be using them for something, someday!) and the minute I saw a basic class on Skill Share ( which I had just joined before even knowing about Elizabeth…kismet!) and deciding to look it up on YouTube, and the first video I clicked on was Elizabeth’s, what can I say…pretty good win. As for releasing, I have decided to let go of all my news feeds, which have been really keeping me in a state of high agitation and depression. I can get the basic news from my local paper, but I really need to turn my head in a direction that brings me joy and feeds my soul. I do and give what and were I can to contribute to the causes that matter to me. But I just had to face the fact that looking throughout history, humankind has always been on a wild and crazy ride and my obsession over every single dingle issue of pain, suffering, fighting and strife was only giving me high blood pressure and a deep sense of hopelessness. I decided to choose my health over the world’s chaos.

This is so so so important for your progress. Reevaluation is a key for getting somewhere were you want to get! I'm happy to see this part of journaling highlighted!

I love watching your videos for the art, but I’m not personally artistic like you are. This spread is so simple, pretty, and approachable for anyone, but most importantly it’s a really excellent reflection. Thanks for all your vids and the work you put into them ... but especially thanks for this one! 💖

[velviteenrabbitt]

Perfect timing! I was just creating intentions for the second half of 2020 but without taking stock of the first half. In order to move forward I know I need to look back, as challenging as that can be (lizard brain lol). Thanks for another innovative bujo set up xo

[meghali]

Your channel deserves more subscribers!! Your content is simplified, aesthetic and most importantly very functional, I've started using your spreads and they work great. Thank you! ❤️

[JessicaDean]

I am saving this so that I can do a real reflection when I can carve out some undisturbed time. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[em-agan]

Thank you for this! It’s just what I needed. I wanted to put some extra time in quarantine to better myself. Although there have been rises and falls I have settled some debt, learned to knit, started exercising more, successfully started a previously inaccessible medical treatment, and reapplied for school after my medical leave in early 2019. I had been super down lately thinking I was making no progress and falling backwards, but that’s simply not the case! I really appreciate this moment of self reflection, and I will absolutely do a spread for this.

[visualvellichor]

I really needed this. I feel like this year has been extremely difficult but also the one where I’ve learned the most and I’ve forced myself to act on some of my dreams like starting a YouTube channel inspired by creators like you 💓💓💓💓

I would love to try doing a mid year review in a year of my life which hasnt been completely wasted :)

Edit: well I tried it anyway. Turns out I have accomplished a little more than I thought this year, and I've had to try growing more mature as a person as I go into my adult life. It's been hard, letting go of my childhood. But I suppose the memories are still there

[eliteafricaneducation]

I love this spread and its perfect for a mid year review, thanks for your ongoing creativity.

[yogaavecmoi]

Oh my gosh this is so good! Totally using this :) Thanks for listing it out! I need a two page spread for each hahahaha so much reflection!

Hi! I have lived a type of NDE (Near Death Experience). I did not go through a life review as it was not ment to be part of the experience at that time ... but I am very much aware of that process at some point when we transition... This video struck me as how we can decide to do so, in some way, in our life, from time to time... Of course it is not the full scale experience as the big ones we go through when we transition ... but with Compassion and practice, we may get closer to it on this earth, even without dying! Thank you for sharing your Inspiration! :)

[karafluhart]

Thank you for sharing and inspiring as always!💕 (and screw the thumbs down people. If they don’t like it then they just shouldn’t have watched) Keep up the great work!

[sophiahodgson]

I always forget to do a review throughout the year. I do daily gratitude, but that is mainly little things like “I tidied my work space, now it is clean, ready for a new day” so I think trying to come up with answers in my mid year review would be useful. Thanks for sharing!

[kathleenbefittwell]

I really love this idea! My summer classes end July 31 and I intend on doing this and an August set up August 1. I've been using my journal with no set up for over two months now, and skipping whole weeks. Hahaa. Your vision of blossoming is beautiful 🌻🌺🌹🌱🦋
