Key Ideas
Do a yearly review
Ask yourself:
- What went well for me last year?
- What accomplishments did I have?
- How did I improve my life?
- How did I improve my relationships?
- What did I remove from my life that is now making me happier?
- What do I wish I had taken more time for?
Write your responses in a journal that you can refer back to in the future. Use these types of questions for areas like home, family, relationships, financial and career.
Finish what you started
Which of your projects, errands and general to-do items do you still have left from the previous year that you may be able to complete in less than 2 hours? Do them now to enable you to give yourself a fresh start.
Be realistic
Dreaming is great, but if you want to accomplish some improvements, you need to make your dream more realistic.
Break your dream down into milestones: if you want to work from home, what steps do you need to take? Break those steps down further into actionable steps and start working towards making your dream a reality.
Make yourself a priority
Put yourself at the top of the list. Take care of yourself and strive to reach your own goals.

See The Past as Training
Learn from your mistakes, and those from others too, but let them go. The past is just training; it doesn't define you.
When something bad happens, see it as an opportunity to learn something you didn't know. When another person makes a mistake, learn from it and see it as an opportunity to be kind, forgiving, and understanding.
