12. A Eulogy for What You Have Outgrown
In the spirit of the season’s association with endings, write a formal, respectful, and loving eulogy for a phase of your life that has officially come to a close. This could be a past career path, a relationship, a city you used to live in, or even an old mindset like perfectionism or people-pleasing. Acknowledge the role this phase played in shaping who you are today, thank it for its lessons, and formally lay it to rest. Writing a eulogy provides a sense of psychological closure, allowing you to honor the past while firmly turning your gaze toward the future and the new beginnings waiting for you.
