In a few short days, 2017 will come to a close. Before you start making plans for next year, there is something important you should do.
Give yourself the gift of reviewing what you accomplished this year.
Most of us look ahead at the next hurdle to get over, rather than looking back at how far we have come.
The baby steps that seemed insignificant at the time add up to a huge leap over the course of time.
Too often I fail to appreciate the accomplishments. It’s important to celebrate all my little victories instead of focusing on what didn’t turn out the way I’d hoped.
Even navigating through a difficult situation is something to be proud of.
Did you embark on a program to improve your health? Make a move toward healing a broken relationship? Did you learn something new? Work on restoring balance to your life? Congratulations! The first step is always the hardest and you took it. If your plans didn’t turn out as you hoped they would remember you made the effort once and can do it again.
Be proud of what you have accomplished. Pat yourself on the back for the effort put forth.
Celebrate the milestones, both small and large and let them propel you forward. Know that past experiences are stepping stones to a bigger and brighter future.
We are all works in progress, so please join me in celebrating the progress made this year.
