Podcast Title: Year-End Review 2024: Reflect, Learn, and Thrive

Podcast Description:
As the year comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and intentionally plan for the year ahead. In this episode, we explore the concept of a Year-End Review, inspired by insights from Tim Ferris and his "Past Year Reviews" (PYR). Unlike traditional New Year’s resolutions, PYRs focus on learning from the past to create actionable and meaningful goals for the future.
Each Weekly Muster begins with a 20-minute check-in, where participants share their personal wellness scores (on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 meaning "all is well"). This roundtable discussion fosters a sense of connection and introspection, setting the stage for the deep dive into today’s topic.
The second half of the session focuses on how veterans can apply the Year-End Review process to reflect on their personal and professional growth, identify lessons learned, and influence their well-being in the coming year.
What You’ll Learn:
Why Reflect on the Past?: The importance of reviewing the previous year to make informed, actionable decisions for the future.
Reflection: Can you influence your well-being in the year to come by reviewing last year, or do you leave it to fate?
The Year-End Review Process: A step-by-step guide to conducting a Past Year Review (PYR), including identifying wins, challenges, and areas for improvement.
Impact on Veterans: How reflecting on military and civilian experiences can provide clarity and purpose moving forward.
Setting Intentions: Strategies to create informed and realistic goals for 2025 based on your reflections.
Through Inquiry, Reflection, Dialogue, and Application, this episode equips veterans with the tools to take charge of their personal growth, build resilience, and set a positive course for the year ahead.
Hosted by Dr. Rich Nicholson, PsyD, this conversation is designed to help veterans and their families end the year with gratitude, focus, and actionable insights for thriving in the future.
