Many of us probably have reflected on the past year, and maybe have created a list of New Year\u2019s resolutions. It\u2019s a new year and the time to start a new you. It sounds like a great idea, but is that the best mindset to start the year?\r\r\r\rMost likely, we want to start fresh when we\u2019re not satisfied with ourselves in the last year. We didn\u2019t go to the gym as often as we planned, or we didn\u2019t get that promotion we had hoped for. However, that doesn\u2019t mean we didn\u2019t work hard or achieve any of our goals throughout the year! So, why should we ignore and discredit all our accomplishments and who we were over the past year whenever New Year comes around?\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\rHow Should We Feel About a New Year Fresh Start?\r\r\r\rWe don\u2019t always have to \u201cstart fresh\u201d or become a new us when we ring in the new year. The desire to grow and improve ourselves is an admirable mindset and should really be encouraged, but we shouldn\u2019t have to be so hard on ourselves when we do it. Nor should we create a list of New Year\u2019s resolutions of things we don\u2019t really care for or enjoy. If reading books is not something you enjoy, find another way to keep your mind creative. Or if going to the gym is not your thing, that\u2019s okay \u2013 find another activity to stay active. Creating goals and strategies to succeed is a good idea, but that doesn\u2019t mean we have to change everything about ourselves, nor does it always have to begin in the new year.\r\r\r\rReflect on Accomplishments and Be Kind to Yourself\r\r\r\rThis New Year, I encourage you to be kind to yourself \u2013 reflect on the accomplishments you\u2019ve achieved and create new goals from there. Set goals that don\u2019t need to be reached within the first few months of the year, but ones where you can continue to grow throughout this year and years to come. I worked at a mental health clinic for five years and learned that we need to meet people, including ourselves where we\u2019re at and progress from there. It\u2019s not necessary to change everything about yourself. That\u2019s what makes you individually you!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re into the new year now.
