Happy 2025 as we welcome in the next 12 months, it’s easy to rush into the next thing—new plans, fresh resolutions, and the endless “to-dos” of life.
But before you jump forward, what if you gave yourself a moment to pause? To look back, reflect, and really honour the journey you’ve been on?
In Resource Therapy, we see ourselves as a collection of personality parts—unique inner resources that step forward in different moments of our lives to support us.
Some parts are courageous and driven, others are protective, and some hold the vulnerable or creative pieces of who we are. Reflecting through this lens isn’t just about what you did this year—it’s about who within you showed up, how they contributed, and where they might need a little extra care.
These 33 prompts are here to guide you—whether you’re looking to celebrate, learn, or gently reconnect with the parts of yourself that make you, you.
No pressure, no rules. Just a chance to reflect authentically and set the stage for a new year that feels aligned with all of you.
Celebrate the Wins
Let’s start with what went right. These reflections are about noticing the parts of you that made this year’s bright spots possible.
- What’s one thing you achieved this year that made a part of you feel truly proud?
- What’s a small win that brought you joy, even if it seemed insignificant at the time?
- What’s a challenge you overcame, and which part of you stepped up to handle it?
- When did you notice a confident or capable part of you taking charge this year?
- What’s something new you learned about yourself, and which part revealed it?
- Which project or idea brought your creative or visionary part to life?
- What moment this year made your proud or joyful part shine?
Learn From the Challenges

- When did you step out of your comfort zone, and which courageous part made it possible?
- What’s a boundary you set this year (or wish you had), and which part needed that protection?
- What’s something you let go of this year, and which part helped you release it?
- Which part struggled the most this year, and how can you support it moving forward?
Deepen Your Relationships
Our parts often shape how we connect with others. Let’s explore the role they played in your relationships this year:

Reconnect With Yourself
Sometimes, the most important growth happens when we take the time to listen to our inner world, this is why we seek to name and dialogue with our parts for inner harmony.
- When did your vulnerable part need the most care, and how did you respond?
- What’s a time when your playful or adventurous part brought you joy?

- When did your inner critic get loud, and what was it’s need and how was it trying to help? Which part helped you push through it?
- Which part or parts of you needs more attention or compassion as you step into 2025?
Set Intentions for Your Future
Looking ahead, these prompts can help you align with your parts and set goals that feel true to who you are:
- What’s one skill or area of knowledge a curious or ambitious part wants to explore in 2025?
- Which adventurous or courageous part is ready to take on something new in the year ahead?
Why This Matters
Looking back on your year through a Resource Therapy parts work lens allows you to see the unique roles your parts have played—whether they supported you, protected you, or even resisted change. Some parts may need healing, others deserve celebration, and together they all make up the whole, complex, and beautiful you.
You don’t have to answer all these questions at once. Just pick the ones that resonate, or revisit them as you feel drawn.
Whether you’re journaling, talking them through with someone you trust, or reflecting quietly, this practice is about building understanding and self-compassion.
Here’s to 2025 where all your parts feel seen, valued, and aligned. If these prompts sparked something meaningful for you, I’d love to hear about it. Let’s keep growing—together in love and community. Drop me an email or a comment below on your reflections.
With love and light,
