It is easy to look back on the year and list what you have done – projects started and milestones met, things ticked off.
It is much harder to look back and reflect on how you have been. Asking questions like how you have felt along the way or how you have inhabited the year are much more groined and embodied questions than what you have done.
But these latter questions remind us that we are human beings rather than human doings.
This year, I’m going to try weaving this question into more of my end-of-year conversations and self-reflection. Not just what did I do?, but how was I?
