Hi there,

Welcome back to You Got a Minute by LifeAt. If you’re new here, you can get caught up by checking out our blog here!

As the year wraps up, it’s the perfect moment to pause and reflect. This isn’t just about goal-setting for the future—it’s about celebrating your wins, learning from challenges, and intentionally stepping into the next chapter. Enter the life audit: a compassionate, judgment-free check-in to assess what’s working, what’s not, and where you want to grow.

Think of it as your personal performance review—only kinder, more intentional, and way less corporate. Let’s dive in.

🌟 Why conduct a life audit?

A life audit isn’t just about critiquing your choices—it’s more about fostering awareness. Think of it as your chance to:

• 🎉 Celebrate all your wins, whether they're big or small.

• 🔍 Pinpoint what has drained your energy or held you back.

• 📏 Align your habits and goals with the amazing person you’re becoming.

Remember, it’s not about being perfect. It’s all about making progress.

✨ How to gently audit your year

📝 Reflect on the highlights: Start with the good stuff—what brought you joy or fulfillment?

• 💭 What achievements or milestones made you proud?

• 💭 Who or what made you feel most supported?

• 💭 Which habits or routines energized and brought you peace?

Write these down. Acknowledging your wins builds confidence and gratitude.

⚡ Spot the energy drains: Now, take a compassionate look at the challenges:

• 😖 What felt like a constant struggle or obligation?

• 😣 Which relationships or commitments drained your energy?

• 🫣 When did you feel stuck, unmotivated, or overwhelmed?

Notice patterns—they often reveal areas for growth.

⏳ Evaluate Your Time: How have you spent your days? Review your calendar or think about a typical week:

• 🤔 Did you prioritize what truly matters to you?

• 🫠 Where did you overcommit or stretch yourself too thin?

• 🥱 Did you make space for rest, hobbies, or connection?

Reclaim your time for what truly brings value and joy.

💡 Align with Your Values: Reconnect with your bigger vision:

• 🎯 Do your current habits reflect your priorities?

• 🌀 Are there areas that feel out of sync with who you want to be?

• 🥅 What small shifts can you make to realign your daily life with your long-term goals?

Even tiny changes can lead to transformative results. Be gentle with yourself, and use this audit to help you build an action plan to tackle the new year. In an upcoming newsletter we will explore vision boards and how to make one that works for you! Good luck, and have the happiest new year 🎆

Real or AI 🤖

Y’all, this one was close! Last week, we asked you to decide which gingerbread cookies were real and which were created by AI. The results were nearly tied, but Image 2 pulled ahead by just 0.82%! 🏆 Turns out, Image 2 was the real batch of cookies 🍪 ✅

Here are some of the team’s fav comments 😆:
