GOODBYE 2020, HELLO 2021
As one year comes to an end and another begins, its time for you to take a step back. Pause for a moment in the rush of life and reflect on the year youve just lived and what a year 2020 has been for all of us around the world.
This year will forever be remembered as the year of Coronavirus. The year when our lives changed dramatically, almost overnight. The year when we collectively went through a challenging and life-changing experience.
In this book we invite you to reflect on what that experience was like for you. Its a chance to recognize and acknowledge all that youve been through and all that youve learnt during this historic year.
And then its time to close the chapter on 2020 and look to the year that lies ahead. Its time to let yourself dream, to ask yourself what you really want and then, with courage and conviction, commit to making those dreams come true next year.
So lets do that. Lets say goodbye to 2020 and get ready to make 2021 a year to remember!
HOW THIS JOURNAL WORKS
Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021 guides you through a journey that helps you say a proper farewell to 2020, as it comes to an end, and create a vision and a plan for you to thrive and live a life you love in the year to come.
Youll begin by reflecting on all that has happened in your life in 2020 your happiest moments, your achievements, the challenges youve overcome and the people youre grateful for. Then, through a series of questions and exercises, youll be encouraged to think about what you need in life to feel happy, fulfilled and full of love. Youll use those ingredients to choose what youd most like to focus on in 2021 and which dreams youd like to bring to life.
By the end of the book, you will have in your hands a vision of the life you want to live in 2021, the dreams you want realized and a simple plan for how youre going to make it all happen.
Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021 will become your motivational journal for designing a life you love in 2021, with quarterly check-ins to help you keep on track throughout the year.
Remember, there is no right or wrong way to answer any of the questions in this book. Relax, have fun with it and just see what answers emerge on the page.
Dont worry if, with some questions, you draw a blank you can always come back to them later or skip them all together. Not every question will be relevant to you this year.
For every question, youll find you have a box to fill in with your answer. If you think that you need more space, there are some extra blank pages at the back of the book.
We have loved seeing what Goodbye, Hello has done for people over the past nine years and now we cant wait to see what it will do for you!

WHAT HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE IN 2020?
So, here we are at the end of another year. A life-changing year for everyone on the planet. A year that will go down in global history as a year of change, grief and loss, as well as collective unity, love and hope. And in those 12 months, your life has been a mixture of happy and sad moments, things to celebrate and challenges to overcome. And throughout it all, you have grown and learned in the process.
So now, as we say goodbye to 2020, its time to take a moment and step back and reflect on how that year has been for you.
If, at first, you find it hard to recall things, then take it slowly. Go month by month, perhaps using your calendar to help remind you of what you got up to over the past year.
We recognize that this is a year when plans were put on hold, dreams had to take a backseat and many of our priorities shifted. This is the time to explore those feelings and frustrations and to turn those emotions into a powerful force for change. Remember that there are no right or wrong answers to any of these questions. You might have just a few lines to write for one question, but with others, you might have so much you want to write that youll need to use the extra pages at the back of the book.
The key is to relax, spend a little time pondering each question and enjoy this process of reflecting and spending quality time with yourself.
What was going on in your life this time last year?
