Audit Your Relationship: Inspired by Brendan Burchard’s Calendar Reflection Method

Welcome to our blog! Today, we embark on a unique and transformative journey, inspired by Brendon Burchard's method of reflecting and auditing the past year. This time, however, we focus on a domain close to our hearts: auditing our relationships with our spouses. So, let's dive into how we can make 2024 a year of profound love and understanding.

Acknowledging the Inspiration

Firstly, a big shoutout to Brendon Burchard for his insightful and transformative approach to yearly reflection. While he guides us through auditing our calendars, we’ll adapt his method slightly to emphasize our relationships.

 So grab your notebook and favorite pen, and let's begin this journey together.

The Calendar Audit: A Tool for Reflection

The calendar audit, recommended by Brendon Burchard, is a practice I've embraced for the last three to four years. It involves scrutinizing every scheduled event to categorize them: the awesome, the wasteful, and those that contribute to the best life. This year, let's apply this approach to our relationships.

A Dual Approach: Calendar and Photos

For auditing our relationships, we can consider two main resources: our calendars and our photo albums. The events in your calendar and the moments captured in your photos are powerful reminders of the year's highlights and challenges, from delightful date nights to memorable family outings.

Auditing for Relationship Insights

• The Awesome List: Start by listing all the joyful, loving, and positive experiences in your relationships. This could include date nights, supportive conversations, and enjoyable vacations. Reflect on why these moments were special and document them.
• Waste of Time or Energy: This category might be challenging but is crucial for growth. Here, reflect on the aspects of your relationship that were less beneficial, like petty arguments or stressful habits. Remember, this is not about blame but about recognizing areas for improvement.
• Living the Good Life: Focus on what aspects of your relationship make you feel fulfilled, loved, and valued. Consider what you desire more of in 2024, be it open communication, quality time, or mutual support for each other's goals. Ensure these are included in your planning.

Crafting a Roadmap for 2024

Now, with your list in hand, you have a roadmap for your relationship in 2024. Identify what you want to continue, what to leave behind, and what will strengthen and enrich your relationship. Prioritize these elements as you step into the new year.

Planning for a Life of Joy and Growth

Your relationship is a journey, and this reflection is a powerful tool for steering it towards joy and growth. By auditing your past year and setting intentions, you're positioning yourself for a 2024 filled with love, understanding, and happiness.

Conclusion

As we wrap up, remember Brendon Burchard's words, "Create Room For Things That Matter!" Your relationship is a treasure trove of experiences, and this reflection is your compass. Here's to making 2024 a remarkable year for love and understanding in your relationships.

Thank you for joining us on this enlightening journey. We hope this method enriches your relationships as much as it has ours. Share your experiences and thoughts in the comments, and let's continue to grow and love together.
