It’s almost the end of 2019 and as another year has gone by its time for self-reflection! But before we start criticizing and judging whether or not we’ve achieved all we wanted this year, why don’t we first give ourselves a pat on the back?
What does a pat on the back actually mean?
Give yourself praise or recognition for an achievement or a job well done!
You may or may not have achieved all the goals you set out for the year, but I can confidently tell you that you have:
- Stayed alive! Never take life for granted, especially with so many happenings around the world.
- Been a good friend, human being to somebody. Chances are that you helped somebody out this year whether you know about itor not!
- Been brave even when the odds were against you.
- Spent quality time with your family, trust me they need it from you more than you realize.
- Overcome obstacles. No journey is without its challenges that we have to face.
- Come so far. We’re all on our own individual journey, but all equally important. That journey is called life.
So, give yourselves a pat on the back for a successful year!
PS: This is not to brag or to give yourself a medal, but rather to help you see that you are a good person and have accomplished things.
At the end of the day, if you did not accomplish all that you wanted, then make some changes and set new goals, 2020 is just around the corner:)
