Here it is–December 2018. Another year is ending! It is a wonderful time of year to celebrate with family and friends. A time to share joy and kindness.
Let’s look back for a moment. Did you reach all your goals this year? Did you keep those New Year Resolutions? Every year we resolve to make changes and improve ourselves, yet often end up feeling tired and over-extended. Challenge yourself to end this year, and begin 2019, with being present and living your best life.
Before the end of the year:
- Create a list of the 15 best things you accomplished
- Make a list of 5 things you wish you’d done
- Extend a heartfelt “Thank You” to the people who helped get you thru the year
- Forgive
- Be grateful
- Donate 10 personal items to a good cause
- Apologize for all of the mistake you made
- Visit that person you kept saying you would visit
- Make a list of 10 items that surprised you
- Exercise
- Eat well
- Create an action plan to define your path for 2019
Enjoy December.
