It is important to recognize your accomplishments and give yourself kudos for what you did well. Reflect on the lessons you learned, as well as the knowledge and skills you acquired. Acknowledge your mistakes and missteps so you can use them as a self-improvement tool. Analyze how you could do better moving forward. The end of the year is symbolically the best time to take a moment to contemplate on what happened good and bad throughout the year and how you hope the year will shape you ahead!
