10 Ways To End The Year With A Bang

1. List All Your Accomplishments

This will make you feel pride in yourself for all that you did in your year. Treat yourself to remembering all the great stuff you accomplished. If you didn’t take time to feel proud throughout the year, do it now. You deserve to relish each thing on this list and the totality of it.

2. Make A List Of Lessons Learned This Year

There are things that worked out better than you imagined, and others that didn’t unfold as expected. What lessons did you learn from those experiences? What will you do differently next time? There are a lot of situations where a bit of better planning and identifying gaps can turn a flop into massive success.

3. Review Your Goals From Earlier In The Year

Even if you aren’t on track to hit all your goals (you probably won’t be), look to create some momentum going into the new year by reassessing what you can do in the time remaining. There is still a month to go for you to accomplish certain things.

4. Offset indulgences with healthy choices

Don’t start the new year behind the eight ball! With the endless parade of holiday parties and decadent meals this time of year, it can be tempting to engage in some seriously unhealthy habits. Avoid falling into this trap by replacing unhealthy choices with healthier ones.

5. Reset your internal Clock

December is the fastest month on the calendar. Before you know it, the year is over. Ask yourself how the speed of the month impact you? For many, this corresponds with a decrease in energy and a downtick in mood. If this applies to you, you definitely want to get ahead of it. Do what you need to do to adjust to limited time without losing a step.

6. Give Yourself  A Break

This means thinking and planning ahead so you don’t have to catch up during this period of rejuvenation. Also make sure to take care of your self and be smart about your health. This doesn’t mean you can drop everything when that last week rolls around. Ideally, you’ve planned ahead so you don’t have to catch up during this period.

7. Review Your Life

If you want different, better results in the New Year, it’s important to identify what your needs are and develop a plan to acquire the resources needed to take your business and your life to the next level. It’s one thing to know what you’re lacking; it’s a completely different thing to have a plan in place to make sure you get what you need. Nothing is more disheartening that feeling like a year has passed and no progress or changes have taken place.

8. Ask Yourself: What Else Is Possible?

Sure you achieved a lot this year. That doesn’t mean that you can rest on your laurels. If 2018 has been an awesome year, what is possible to 2019? You’re not the same person you were at the start of the year. You’ve experienced new things, gained knowledge and wisdom.

9. Go Into The Holidays With Clear Set Personal Objectives

This can mean creating meaningful connection with your friends and family. What’s more important than relationships? Than human connection? Than family? So why do so many of us not enter holiday weekends without objectives, when we have so many goals in the workplace.

10. Start Planning For 2019

Create your goals for 2019 as soon as you can. Why is this so important? Because doing so allows you to absorb and live with your goals, and gives you time to tweak them if need be. Even if things didn’t work out the way that you wanted them to, you’ve learned from those mistakes and will do things differently next time.
