Preparing your mindset for the New Year involves reflecting on the past year, setting achievable goals, decluttering both your physical and digital spaces, focusing on gratitude and self-care, and taking small, actionable steps for meaningful change—all while allowing yourself to rest so you can start the year feeling refreshed and purposeful. 

Reflect & Release

• Journal: Write down highlights, challenges, and lessons from the past year to gain clarity and release burdens, says Embracing You Therapy.
• Acknowledge Wins: Celebrate successes, big or small, to build momentum, according to this Medium article. 

Declutter & Organize

• Physical Space: Clean out a drawer, closet, or even your digital files to create mental space.
• Digital Space: Delete apps or unsubscribe from emails to reduce digital noise. 

Set Intentions & Goals

• Be Realistic: Instead of huge resolutions, set smaller, achievable goals (e.g., exercise 3x a week, not "get fit").
• Create Vision: Use vision boards or lists to visualize what you want to create or do.
• Brain Dump: Get all your thoughts and ideas out of your head and onto paper.
