Dear friend, I want you to know that it’s completely normal to feel this way as the year draws to a close. The pressure to reflect on the past and plan for the future can be daunting, but please remember that you are more than just a list of accomplishments or goals. First, take a deep breath and remind yourself of all the small victories and personal growth you’ve experienced throughout the year – these matter just as much as the big achievements. When reflecting, focus on progress rather than perfection. Celebrate the steps you’ve taken, no matter how small they may seem. As for the upcoming year, try to set gentle, realistic goals that align with your values and bring you joy. Remember, it’s okay not to have everything figured out. Life is a journey, and each day is an opportunity to learn and grow. Be kind to yourself, trust in your resilience, and know that you are enough, just as you are. You’ve got this, and I believe in you!
