I think we can all agree that 2021 has been a wild ride. It’s common that newsletters and blogs might take a moment to reflect on it in detail. This might include, some lists what I’ve read, or maybe my top favorite projects. I was not sure I can do it, so busy with thoughts of moving forward! Not just into 2022, but The Chinese New Year of the Tiger!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But recently it occurred to me why something like a top 10 list can be helpful. True to form, I discovered this while suggesting it to someone else, as a sort of mood-enhancement activity. Sparing the details, I suggested to someone facing a potentially stressful day “Think of a top 10 list – your top 10 whatever” hoping it may inspire them to focus on some feel-good things rather than the stresses of that day 💡<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s when I thought – is that why people do that?<\/em> We’re all faced with shorter days, colder nights and that sudden realization the year is ending sooner than we planned. In that light (or lack there of), making a list of things to feel good about seems essential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, my Top 10 Whatever<\/em> for 2021 looks something like this –<\/p>\n\n\n\n I wrote about it extensively here<\/a>. But I think this video sums it up nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
