5 reasons why it hurts so much to take stock of the year
Sound familiar? Then let's continue.
What do you lose when you run non-stop?
- Capturing your results. You don't have time to take credit for them.
- A sense of pride in yourself.
- You lose the energy to live and move forward.
What does this kind of racing lead to?
- The past year seems empty and meaningless.
- You underestimate yourself and what you've already accomplished.
- Instead of clarity and lightness, you feel tired and frantic. If you don't stop and look at yourself, you miss the most important thing - realising your value. The feeling that you're alive.
Stop. You deserve to be noticed.
YOU are a person who has spent a year living, working, striving. What do you really want? To stop. To look back on your year and see not the emptiness, but the memorable moments that add up to a picture. And then you'll realise: you've done even more than you thought.
✨ You will find your strength, inspiration and clarity to enter the new year with ease and confidence.
✨S top running - it's time to breathe in and ignite the light within!
Type 2. The ‘Self Critic’ or ‘Critical Perfectionist’ is forever muttering:
- ‘I could do better if I tried harder... though no, it's still not the same’. - Come on, that's not an achievement. You should have done better. - Did you pass? That's fine. But I could have done better. Anybody could have done it.
- You're your own critic

The fussy runner
Always busy, always running.....
‘Running, running, running... but where to?’
Always busy, always running.....
‘Running, running, running... but where to?’
You've been busy all year: work, deadlines, family matters, millions of ‘very important’ tasks.
- Stop, breathe, look around? When!
- December turns into a race: how to get everything done - to buy, to make, to send,
- And in the end, the year is gone... and what?
Why is this a problem? When you don't see your own achievements, you live in a perpetual race for a mythical ‘ideal’. Your efforts don't turn into confidence, and you end the year feeling empty.
You start each new year thinking ‘this year I will definitely do everything perfectly’... but once again you set the bar too high.
Now imagine: You open your notebook or year-end list. You look at everything you've done and suddenly realise:
"I really did it! These projects, decisions, and actions are my accomplishments that are worthy of note!’.
What's in it for you? You'll be able to:
✨ See the real value of what you have done.
✨ Shift your focus from criticism to realising the victories.
✨ Build a plan for the new year on real achievements rather than chasing the ‘perfect’.
You'll see your victories and feel confidence. Not the kind that comes from being perfect, but real confidence from realising that you've already done the important things.
Warmed up in your heart?
Don't cry when you smile, I really like you!
Type 3. The Burned Out Achiever or the ‘5% Phone’.
The year started with enthusiasm, plans are laid out, goals are set. But now you feel like you ran an entire marathon for an empty medal. You seem to have done everything, but your inner ‘motor’ is running at its last revolutions.

- A burned-out achiever
You recognise that? Yeah, you manage to devalue even your greatest successes.
Everything you do isn't perfect, and it's infuriating. But you've been remembering your mistakes by name since 2007. You're the ‘Imperfect Idealist,’ the person who always sets the bar so high that you don't reach it yourself... and you don't let anyone else.

What's going on?
- All year you worked like an ox, but the joy of success has not come.
- It seems that you have achieved everything, but the inspiration has disappeared somewhere.
- Or, on the contrary, all that forward movement now seems pointless.
- Fatigue, as if you were carrying an invisible weight?
- Apathy, a feeling of emptiness and questions: ‘What's it all for?’
- Reluctance to set new goals because I know they won't bring joy.
What's going on?

You start out enthusiastically, making plans, but then this happens: ‘Well, I'll finish it tomorrow... okay, January... well, definitely sometime later!’ And so you walk into the new year with a garland of hang-ups.

- An unfinished dangler
What's going on? - Things hang unfinished, and their list grows like a snowball. - You're dragging around a pile of tasks all year long, and it takes energy and motivation. - A new year starts with junk and old problems, not a clean slate.
How do you feel? - A heaviness, like someone is constantly reminding you, ‘Hey, did you finish that?’ - Motivation fades - because uncompleted tasks keep you from moving forward. - Guilt and regret that you can't start something new while the old is ‘dragging on.’

There are more questions than answers. ‘Why?’, “Where to?” and “For whom?” are playing in circles like a broken record, and there's no answer.
It's like you forgot to plug in your GPS: you're moving, but the direction slips away, and it seems like all roads lead nowhere.
Why is that?
You're busy with work stuff: deadlines, shopping, worries. Everything is important, but there's no room for the most important thing - figuring out why you're going forward. You do, you do, and there's an emptiness inside.

What are you losing?
- Meaning. You don't realise the importance of what you're doing.
- Direction. Everything seems chaotic.
- Energy. Without purpose, any movement seems meaningless.
What does that lead to?
- Year after year, nothing changes. It's the same old thing.
- Instead of inspiration and joy, there is fatigue.
You need to figure out and find the answers to the questions:
- ‘Who am I?’
- ‘What have I done?’
- ‘Why am I doing this?’
What consequences do those who don't take stock of the year face?

Told in the video:
Every unclosed hang-up is energy you lose. Instead of moving forward, you get stuck in the past. Unfinished business is like a suitcase without a handle: it's hard to carry, but it's a shame to drop it. Come to the marathon and sort out your ‘suitcase’. We will help you to close old cases, to say goodbye to unnecessary things. You will find freedom and clarity to step into the new year lightly, without the weight of unsolved problems.
Type 5. ‘The Lost Dreamer.’
You seem to be fine. You look like everyone else and even better. You manage to do everything: you work, solve problems, fulfil plans. And it seems that everything is prosperous, you can be envied. But there is one ‘but’ - you do not understand why you do all this.
‘I'm sailing, I'm sailing... but the map is still at home.’

These questions are behind being, so our brains do their best to block out those uncomfortable feelings.

What do you get when you take stock?
What happens when you don't summarise?
60% of my clients say they lack energy, joie de vivre, vibrancy.
Burnout.
They have a sense that they are preoccupied with emptiness, that this is not their real life.
It's as if they live on autopilot, avoiding deep questions. What am I living for? What's next for me?
Ironically, it's the pauses, the weekend holidays birthday and new year that are the most trigger points in the year when questions of meaning come into sharp focus.

Motivation. Energy.
You'll close old chapters and be ready for a new phase. Taking stock helps you understand what really matters and what doesn't. You can focus on what brings you joy and strength. Clarity of purpose and meaning will give you the power to move forward. You will learn to identify your true goals and free yourself from the unnecessary.
A sense of completion.
Year-end results are a chance to put the past behind you. You close out unfinished business and make room for the new. A clear sense of completion: gives you freedom and you'll enter the new year with clarity and energy.
You create clarity and find meaning. Analysing the year gives you direction. Instead of blindly setting goals, you realise where you want to go and why. You find your core values and meaning. The energy will return and every step will be filled with meaning
A year-end summary that you can hold in your hands:
- A list that you can hang on your fridge and make your phone screensaver: achievements, important lessons learnt, people and moments that changed your life.
- A personal scrapbook of memories: photos, videos, notes on the most important things.
Taking stock is a basic habit of successful people, it's the key to a conscious life. It's an opportunity to see how much light you've already lit and to understand where to direct it next.
Don't miss this moment. Stop, realise, thank yourself and light your light even brighter in the new year.

Self Acknowledgement
You'll take time for yourself and realise how much effort you've put into your life and feel proud of yourself. You recognise your value, your uniqueness
You see your progress.
Sometimes it feels like a year has been wasted. But it is worth remembering how many difficulties you have overcome, how many steps you have taken, to see: you are much stronger than you thought. You see what you can rely on in the future.

I create a system of services that help people discover and realise their potential through the meaning of life, higher values and mission. For 11 years now, in December I have been summarising the year, harvesting the harvest. I hold marathons, because it's more fun together. Like-minded people help to keep focus and find more facets, because we see ourselves in each other like in a mirror.
