Reflection isn’t just about what you accomplished — it’s about acknowledging growth and reconnecting with your purpose. Taking time to think about the past year helps reduce stress, increase motivation, and build confidence for what’s next.
Ask yourself:
- What am I most proud of this year?
- What challenged me, and what did I learn from it?
- What helped me feel my best — physically, mentally, or emotionally?
- What do I want to carry forward into 2026?
Even a few minutes of reflection can help you see progress you might have overlooked.
Recharge Before the New Year
December is a time to rest and recharge. Give yourself permission to slow down, breathe, and recover — your body and mind need it.
- Take breaks: Short moments of rest during the day can reduce fatigue and boost focus.
- Reconnect: Spend time with people who lift you up.
- Sleep well: A rested mind is a stronger mind.
- Unplug: Try a “digital detox” for a few hours — or even a full day — over the holidays.
Recharging isn’t a luxury; it’s how you prepare for what’s next.
Reset with Intention
Once you’ve reflected and rested, it’s time to reset. Instead of big resolutions, think about small, sustainable habits that make you feel your best.
Try setting “micro-goals” for the new year, like:
- Taking a daily 10-minute walk.
- Packing a healthy lunch three times a week.
- Getting your annual checkup or biometric screening.
- Practicing gratitude at the end of each shift.
Small steps lead to big results — and the best goals are the ones that fit into your real life.
