24 New Year’s Questions to Ask Yourself

Grab these reflective New Year’s questions and write down your answers. Also, ask your family and friends these New Year’s Eve Reflection questions to spark meaningful conversations. This year has been challenging, but I don’t think we should ignore the good, bad and ugly of 2020. Let’s pause, reflect, and ring in the new year in the right direction.

What to do with these New Year’s Questions

These New Year’s Eve questions include topics such as goal setting, reflecting and sharing memories both good and bad. Consider writing down your answers or if you are brave, recording them on video or audio. Come back a year from now and see how far you have come. Perhaps, your goals changed or you met your goals.

If you are answering these conversation starters in a group, you will learn so much about each other and perhaps you can keep each other accountable in the new year. When I write down or share my goals with others, I am more likely to reach them. Plus, there is always an opportunity to learn from your answers to growing as a person. My husband and I like to reset every year and share our reflections of the past year and hopes for the new. This helps us understand each other and work together in the right direction.
