Looking back at the Last Years Promises

New Years Eve is coming up, and at that time most of us like to make a New Years Promise. I read recently that it is a good practice for our mental health. Making a promise makes us feel that we are still in control of our lifes. But often we find at the end of the year that we broke the promise that we gave ourselves 12 months ago.

This year I would suggest that we, even before New Years Eve, look back at the year that have passed. Sit down for a while and make a list of all the things that you have accomplished, everything from painting the fence to learning a new language. Looking at the final list you will see that the last 12 months has not been wasted, and that broke your promise wasn't that bad after all.
