Every December, company CEOs shift into a different rhythm. They pull back from the day to day grind and start reviewing the year from a higher altitude. They look at what worked, what tanked, what surprised them, and what needs to change. It is thoughtful, steady, and surprisingly calm.
And guess what. You get to do the same thing.
You are already the CEO of Your Life Inc., December can be your moment to pause, evaluate, and prepare for the new year ahead. No guilt and no pressure. Just awareness.
Your CEO Month Checklist
Review your wins
Think in specifics, not general vibes.
• You started walking during lunch instead of scrolling.
• You drank more water this fall than in any other year.
• You finally set boundries with a person who drains you.
• You kept up a weekly ritual that makes you feel good.
Small wins are often the real wins.
Reflect on the misses without shame
Look at habits or areas where things slipped, but do it like a CEO reviewing data instead of a critic reviewing your soul.
• Maybe the meal planning fell apart after September.
• Maybe your self care turned into self afterthought.
• Maybe your sleep or movement routine got chaotic.
None of that makes you a failure. It simply tells a story about what your life needed and what it missed.
Reconnect with your vision
Ask yourself real questions.
• Do you want more energy in the morning?
• Do you want to stop overeating at night?
• Do you want to feel confident traveling or walking into social situations?
• Do you want your home or schedule to feel less frantic?
This isn’t about fantasies. It is about choosing the kind of life that fits who you want to become.
Choose a direction, not twenty resolutions
Instead of a giant list, pick one or two areas you want to strengthen.
• This could be the year of steady movement.
• This could be the year of consistent meals.
• This could be the year of finally organizing your health appointments.
• This could be the year of building community instead of lone wolfing everything.
Focus beats overwhelm. Every time.
Set up your supports now
This is where CEOs shine. They build systems that make their goals manageable and realistic.
• Sign up for a program like the 100-Day Kickstart.
• Decide which nights you will meal prep.
• Keep your walking shoes by the door.
• Clean out one drawer, not the entire house.
• Set recurring reminders for your vitamins or water. I have a reminder that tells me every hour to stand and move.
• Join a supportive community so you are not doing this alone.
Prepare the runway before you try to take off.
A gentle nudge
December is the quiet month where CEOs close the year with clarity. You deserve that same moment.
