New Year’s Questions – An Exercise to Begin 2012

New Year’s Questions – An Exercise to Begin 2012

New Year’s Questions
I picked these questions up at a wonderful workshop I attended a few years ago and have found them very  useful.

Before beginning a new year in full force, it can be supportive to complete and acknowledge the previous year. I hope that spending a few minutes with the following questions will help you complete 2011 and start 2012 on a strong note!
