Reflecting on the Year Behind Us
As we prepare to set intentions for the new year, it’s important to first reflect on the year we’re leaving behind. Reflection allows us to take stock of our experiences—the challenges we overcame, the lessons we learned, and the moments that brought us joy. By acknowledging where we’ve been, we can set a strong foundation for where we want to go.
