2020 Year-End Review at www.xtreme-assistant.com

And I thought 2019 was challenging! 2020 showed me it can always get worse.

See my 2019 year-end review here to see benefits of doing a year-end review and how you can do your own year-end review.

It’s definitely been a challenging year for absolute everyone on earth. In every country. I’m sure not one person was left out. But how you deal with challenges is more important than anything else.

You must learn to improvise, adapt, and overcome your obstacles. You must have the determination to triumph over your setbacks to achieve success. The ability to change and adapt to the environment gives you the power of control.

As I’ve learned in the past, it’s important to have gratitude for all things. Even though it’s hard sometimes, reflecting and journaling have been helpful for me. Thinking and reflecting prepares us better for taking action.

Here’s my year-end review for 2020. It includes both business and personal observations.

Journaling to achieve goals at www.xtreme-assistant.com

I’ve written about journaling before. It’s helpful in many different ways.

I’ve used it to journal my gratitude, my physical pain, issues with conflict, and my insights. 

You can read my post about journaling gratitude here: How to Improve Your Life Using a Gratitude Journal.

Journaling can also help you achieve your goals because it will force you to think about them, consider the why and how, and explore deeper into the situation so that you can examine all sides of it.

My 2019 Year End Review

Year End review at www.xtreme-assistant.com

Wow! What a year. My life continues to change. I guess that’s a good thing. I never want to stay stuck in my comfort zone. I just didn’t expect so many twists and turns!
