Seasonal Perspective

Winter Reflections: Week 1

A look to the future,

a reflection on the past,

and a prompt for the present.

Winter’s full splendor is doing what she does best: driving us to tuck ourselves away for hibernation. We are ready to sit down with our Elevate journals to reflect on one full year of living alongside the seasons and how it helped us achieve our personal goals. We would love to hear from you if you have been walking this journey with us!

We love our seasonal events for many reasons. They are curated to highlight the natural changes of each season, welcoming Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter with a positive and uplifting gathering. Everyone receives a gift and a fulfilling experience connecting with nature, each other, and our authentic selves.

Most importantly, these events bring new friends into our lives. As women who are fueled by creativity, we know that the company of like-minded women is precious and vital.

That’s why our Winter event is also our gift to you: we will be sharing weekly journal prompts every Friday for the remainder of the season.

In Winter, we naturally find ourselves leaning into reflection, thinking about the ebbs and flows of the past year while dreaming of a better future. However, our souls and “soil” also crave rest and nourishment simultaneously with reflection — which grounds us in the present.

This is *exactly* what we want to encourage you, magnificent Virtuosa, to embrace as you adopt a Seasonal Perspective for your productivity as the new year unfolds.

Let’s begin with a reflection on 2024 with this week’s journal prompt.

Settle in somewhere nice and cozy where you can feel free to express yourself. You also don’t have to sit down and journal at the same time every day or week. Just find a time that works for you and trust yourself to know when you’re ready to sit down and reflect.

You can also…

Prepare a snack and/or drink

Listen to your favorite music

Wear your favorite cute/comfy clothes

Doodle! It’s your personal time after all, and even a stick figure can be worth a thousand words.


Congratulations!
