We’re winding down 2015 with hardly 30 days left in the year. As 2016 approaches, that gets many of us thinking: What do I want to do in the brand new year? What do I want for myself?

I’ve blogged a lot about manifesting and the Law of Attraction, and I’m sure many of you have your New Year rituals and techniques: writing down your goals, vision boarding, etc.

But I’m curious – How many of you take the time to reflect on the old year? Have you noticed what you accomplished? Did you celebrate? Are you hanging on to things that bummed you out? Are you shouldering some guilt over what hasn’t happened yet?

It’s just as important to give yourself a pat on the back for your wins as well as clear the clutter around the things that didn’t happen.

It’s kind of like cleaning out your car. Doesn’t it feel good to throw away old receipts and food wrappers, vacuum the dog hair out, and Armor All the dash? You want to get in that car!!

So if you’re still hanging on to the breakup from June or the painting you never started or the 10 lbs that didn’t go away, forgive yourself.

One stellar way to go about doing that is to recognize and celebrate the classes you did complete, the job you decided to quit, the one month you gave up caffeine, or that awesome speech you gave.

I’ll be doing the same thing – giving myself an attaboy and plucking the dog hair from my sleeves. I want a clean interior before I start driving along 2016.
