December is a holiday season, Christmas on the 25th, Hanukkah begins on the evening of the 22nd, and Kwanza on the 26th. These holidays represent family, love, charity, and giving. During this holiday season, this is an important time to practice gratitude, celebrate your loved ones with gifts of all kinds & to reflect on the year. This is a magical time filled with many twinkling lights, sparkly garland, beautiful ornaments, and decorations all around us. It makes the cold, winter months seem actually very beautiful, passionate, energetic and exciting.

How To Reflect On The Past Year In A Positive Way:
Find a Quiet Place & An Hour's Time. After the busy holiday, take a day before the new year and block out an hour. This way, you are not roped back into the busy work and life balance moving into 2020 without reflecting at all on 2019.
Make A List. If it helps, go through your photos from this year and make a list of your favorite things you did, accomplished, visited, celebrated, or any activity that made you happy. Then, go back through your list and bold the absolute favorites.
