Lessons Learned in 2020 - a podcast by Raina Jain

As we enter into the new year, I want to share with you some great news. My podcast THP has completed one year and 59 episodes. You are now tuned into the 60th  episode today! Whoa! What a year has it been – 2020! How many of you feel the sigh of relief that I feel right now hun?! Well this year has forced us to do things differently and reimagine our way of living. At the end of a normal year, you might look back over the previous 12 months and use the memory of what you’ve achieved to guide how you plan for the following year. And though it’s definitely worth celebrating any wins you’ve had in the chaos of 2020, it’d be wise to resist the temptation to apply the same expectations to this one as we would a normal one. But let’s be honest - Reflecting on 2020 isn’t just a way to think about the year ahead but it’s also about sorting through everything that’s happened this year (and it’s been a lot). It can help us process the emotional rollercoaster of the last 12 months, and better prepare us for the uncertainty we continue to face. So before I move on to giving you a recap on the last year, I want you to take a moment and ask yourself these questions just to understand the things that really matter and the things that don’t - How did this year challenge your beliefs about yourself?  And about others around you? What kind of behaviours did you unlearn in order to break your unhealthy pattern? What did you need to change within yourself and your immediate surroundings that enabled you to persevere and even thrive this year? Going forward, what priorities do you want to commit to? Now let’s dig right in! I have been reflecting on the entire year in the past couple of days and it has got me to realise so many lessons that I learnt, things that I want to carry with me in the coming year and things that I need to let go off however challenging it seems. When the year started, I was pretty excited for what this year had in store for me. And surprisingly, there’s a lot of things that I am immensely grateful for and happy about. My year started with an unexpected travel so change was kind of a constant in my life this year! So guys, where you are right now will be very different than where you will be next year in 2021 – with new moments to live, new experiences to share, new challenges to overcome, new relationships to experience, new people to meet, new places to travel, new projects to accomplish – It will all happen with just one act – By putting yourself out there! Wishing you a very happy new year!
