Monday Market Update: More Than A December To Remember

A time to reflect and re-shape your personal & financial well-being.

December is here! Can you believe we are in the final month of 2025? There were moments the year flew by and times where it felt like the last 11 months were dragging on, yet we made it! In this week’s blog, I want to share a few different ways that we can use this time of year to support a happy, healthy & productive way forward. Here are 4 things you can do in December to set the rest of this year and your new year up for success!

#1: Write A Business Plan: Did you know that December is National Write A Business Plan month? You can read about the two very basic types of business plans from the SBA or see 7 more detailed plans on Indeed.

#2: Reflect On The Last Year: Many people find that December is great time to reflect on achievements, challenges and changes that have occurred in the last year. Don’t forget to look back with gratitude and compassion (they are gamechangers!). You can find 50 great reflective journal prompts here and read about reflection from a leadership perspective here.

#3: Set Intentions That Are Sustainable: Setting intentions is so much more than a self-help trend, but a way to make sure our lives focus on what matters. The Calm app blog explains that “Intention setting is a conscious and deliberate act where you identify and articulate what’s genuinely important to you.” Explore benefits, examples and methods of intention setting here.

#4: Prioritize Your Health: Have you had an annual physical this year? Are you currently consistently taking all prescribed medications? Do you have any follow-ups or routine screenings to schedule? Do you have any HSA dollars or unused eye plan benefits? The only way that you can live your best life is to take the very best care of your body. Review a quick end of year health checklist here.

I hope these 4 suggestions for December inspire you to end the year strong and make 2026 even stronger!

All my best,

Bobbi
