What were you proud of? What didn’t go well? What plans or goals weren’t realized? How are you different from how you were this time last year? If you could give your experience of 2020 its own tagline, what would it be? What were your most meaningful moments? Are there any lessons learned this past year – some big groundbreaking a-ha moments or some smaller insights? How did you have fun? What drained you? What invigorated you? What did you let go of this year? If you had to pat yourself on the back for something you did – or didn’t do – this year, what would that be? What was the best thing that happened? What was something small that you did frequently and made a big difference? What did you try for the first time? What are you grateful for this past year in particular? If you had to write a tag line for 2020, what would it be? What's something that -- now that you consider the above -- you need to change for the coming year?               DISCLAIMER Neither I nor most of my podcast guests are doctors or healthcare professionals of any kind, and nothing on this podcast or associated content should be considered medical advice.
