But what is Christmas?

The tenderness of the past, the reflection about the present, and the hope for the future. Regardless of religion, this is the time of year that we are more reflective.

It is time to rethink our routines, to ponder our lives and everything that surrounds it. It is time to rethink our plans, to reconsider the errors, the misconceptions and the misunderstandings. It is time to rethink our path, to look back, and then look ahead again. To wonder about what may come ahead.

I would like to present you with something very special for me. Something that has helped me personally and professionally and I know it will be helpful to you as well.

Your Christmas present is my retrospective eBook (for free). On it, you will find great activities to help you reflect on 2015, and superb activities to help you make plans for 2016.

I’ve already done my 2015 retrospective (Happiness radar for a timeline -> DAKI -> Notes to Self), and I am preparing a futurospective about 2016 (FLAP -> Path to nirvana).

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
