What have you learned about yourself this year?

What have you learned about yourself this year?

I recently had LASIK and I’m not supposed to use any screens for a week. So I'm going to avoid writing a long post – but I still wanted to send you something to think about.

Right now I’m in Bangkok for work and meeting tons of new people. Recently at a dinner someone asked me the following question: “What is a thing you’ve learned about yourself this year?”

I’m sure it was meant to be a question with an easy answer, but I found it surprisingly difficult. Because I’ve certainly grown a lot, but it was hard to put that into words.

The question is still echoing in my head, and I wanted to send it to you as well, because I enjoyed thinking about it. Here we go ✨

💡 Reflecting on what you've learned

What is a thing you've learned about yourself this year?

An alternative way to phrase this question might be “In what way have you grown this year?”

🙏 Thanks!

As always, thank you for reading and for being part of Mental Garden. I sincerely hope you found this email useful.

This is also a great way to remind us that the end of this year is approaching and it’s time to begin the Yearly Reflection. I’ll soon start with the first section – reading through my journal for this year.

See you again (literally 😅) in two weeks.

With gratitude,
Marc
