For the sake of your mental health, you might want to take some time in the next few days to have a personal "year-end review." Sturgeon Bay Psychologist Dr. Dennis White recommends that you take stock of what happened to you in 2021 before making any New Year resolutions for 2022. He suggests writing down your 2021 experiences and reflecting on your accomplishments rather than focusing on what you failed to get done.
Dr. White says the year-end review can help you remember, learn, and grow as a person. The process can help better prepare you for a more positive year ahead and lead to meaningful resolutions in 2022. You can listen to Dr. White's entire Mental Health Minute with questions to ask yourself regarding a personal review below.
