When we come to the end of the year, it is easy to focus on the year ahead and forget to appreciate the accomplishments of the last 12 months. With 2023 right around the corner, now is a good time to pause and reflect on the past twelve months by writing your personal end-of-year review.

This exercise can help you prepare for success in the coming year, the obstacles you faced and overcame, and most importantly, the lessons you learned.

When you commit to taking an honest look at your year, your ups and downs, your actions, and your way of thinking, you change the trajectory of your life, but it's not an easy exercise.

How to do your review

Spend an hour or two on this exercise. Make your room a haven of peace, lighting a candle or using aromatherapy, a warm and relaxing light, and above all, silence.

You will need blank paper and a pen and your journals and notes for the year if you have them. If you use the notes app on your phone and tend to store things digitally, then you can use your phone, but avoid connecting to the internet, or use airplane mode.

How to start

If you've set your goals for 2022, you can start by reviewing how many you've met and how many haven't. You can decide if pending plans can be added to your 2023 list, or just discard them.

You can review your notes and journals and write new goals based on the ideas that have emerged throughout the year. Try to enjoy the process, you are working for and for yourself, and this will help you have a better future. It may really work for you and become an annual ritual that you are looking forward to doing.

It is essential that you combine your goals on a personal level with your goals as a camming model, after all, balance is vital in life to be successful.

You can use the following questions that will shed light on where you are right now and also help you dig deeper into the different areas of life and where you might want to make changes:

What were the highlights of the year?

What achievements are you most proud of?

What went exactly as planned? What went wrong?

What was the biggest lesson (or lessons) you learned this year?

What new skills did you learn this year?

What challenges did you face and how did they make you feel?

What were your three biggest achievements in your career as a camming model or content creator? How do you think you did it?

Are there other goals (besides your work) that you achieved that you are proud of?

Have you developed any healthy habits that you want to keep?

What was the best decision you made all year? What did you learn from that?

How has your relationship with yourself changed this year?

Who has inspired you the most this year and how?

Which person had the biggest negative impact on your life? Why?

What new relationships improved your life? Who? How?

Once you finish answering the questions in your mind, you can do a short 10-minute meditation to return to the present moment. Then take some time to write freely in your journal. How do you feel now? What emotions are coming up? Don't judge what you're writing; it can be just keywords that are popping up or even ideas.

Now is the time to start jotting down the answers to some questions that will help you organize your thoughts and feelings.

Plans for 2023

Now that you've reflected on the past 12 months, it's time to start thinking about the next year.

You can use these questions to guide your plans:

What would a dream year be like for you in 2023?

What would success as a model look like to you in 2023?

What three big goals do you plan to achieve next year?

How do your goals for 2023 translate into habits and actions?

What habits, behaviors, or attitudes will you need to develop or adopt in the coming year?

What habits and behaviors do you need to change?

Answer the questions honestly and completely, really identifying your why and the reason behind wanting to achieve each goal.

Goals

Now you need a plan to help you move toward your desired outcome by 2023.

Once you've broken your dreams down into actionable processes, summarize your reflections on one sheet. This summary will be your base for 2023. Post it somewhere you can see it every day like on your fridge, a mirror, near your front door, or next to your bed.

For best results, review your list every 3 months or so, revisiting previously established goals and adding new ones if necessary.

Conclusion

Remember that once you have established your goal and have a clear roadmap, remember that you can only control part of the process. Of course, there will be some bumps in the road and you will need to correct course, or you may decide that something you previously planned for is no longer something you want.

We hope these questions help you set goals for the new year, and happy new year 2023!
