Welcome
What is this?
It’s a YearCompass—your very own YearCompass, to be exact.
It is a booklet that helps you reflect on the past year and plan the next one. With a
set of carefully selected questions and exercises, YearCompass helps you uncover your
patterns and design a great year for yourself.
The booklet has two distinct parts. The first half will help you review, learn from, and
celebrate the year you’re leaving behind. The second half, on the other hand, is all
about the future. You’ll be dreaming, planning, and preparing to get the most out of
the new year.
What do i need to fill out the booklet?

A pen or a pencil, a few hours of uninterrupted focus, and an open and honest mind.
Can i do this in a group?

Sure you can! Grab your friends, print out booklets for all of them and find a comfortable
space. Everyone should fill out their own YearCompass, but you can take breaks to
discuss the exercises and share your thoughts and feelings.
If you do this, please be mindful of your companions’ boundaries. Everyone should

only share things they are comfortable with.

Forgiveness
Did anything happen during the past year that still needs to be forgiven? Deeds or
words that made you feel bad? Or are you angry with yourself ? Write it down here.
Do yourself good by forgiving.*
Yes there are still things and incidents from the past year that needs to be forgiven. I still feel bad that my father is a douchebag.
I need to remind myself that this is not my fault. Much of my wounds since I was a child was caused by his problematic and selfish attitude.
I forgive myself for all the times I blamed myself or made myself responsible for the shitty things he has done. It’s time to set some real boundaries.
* If you don’t feel ready to forgive yet, jot it down anyway. It can work wonders.
