A Values-Driven Path to a More Meaningful 2025

“Downshift’s reimagined annual review is a sacred invitation to pause and listen deeply. It moves beyond the superficial layers of achievement into the realm of genuine self-discovery and alignment. This is soul work disguised as an annual review—a gentle but powerful way to honor who you're becoming."
— Alex Olshonsky, Writer & Somatic Therapist

A Different Kind of Review Living by values rather than chasing goals isn't just philosophy—it's a transformative practice. This experience guides you through eight carefully crafted sections, each designed to help you discover what truly matters.

Your 8-Step Journey

  1. Plot Your Memories & Milestones Your year held more than just achievements. Capture the moments—big and small—that shaped your journey.

  2. Capture Your Learnings & Lessons Every experience carries wisdom. Understand what lit you up and what dimmed your light.

  3. Assess Your Current Life Step back and see your life clearly—not through the lens of should-be's, but through what is.

  4. Conduct Your Annual Edit Life's too short to carry everything forward. Choose what you want to discard.

  5. Envision Your Future Self Instead of listing goals, connect with who you're becoming.

  6. Identify Your Core Values Discover your internal compass—the principles that energize and guide you.

  7. Live Your Values Move from understanding to action. Learn how values become daily practices.
