I use this holiday to take stock of my accomplishments during the year, my failures to myself and to set goals for where I want my life to be by the next year. I do not make resolutions, per say, but do make realistic promises to myself for accomplishments. Most of them are small and obtainable, but a couple are lifestyle/mental changes that need to be met for the wellbeing of my mental state or health. I use it to cleanse my slate and to make a mental fresh start for happiness.

What does the new year mean to you?
