Do you guys have this moment that before the year ends, you date yourself, what i mean alone, you meditate, write a journal, and a long the way in that few days of solitude you realize that you have been that good for the whole year round. So you need to give yourself a reward. In my case i had this self talk that i would do, as if i had the other self in me. I hope you guys had that moment, because in my case it do feel good. when the year start its the different Jenifer will came out. So how about you guys how do you give thanks to yourself?

Oh yes!
I always do that!
Usually I do that at year's end and the eve after my birthday. :)
I like looking back and evaluation the changes that happened to me and yes, i congratulate myself then i would ponder on the things that i want to change in the next year.
Evaluation yourself and comparing yourself to who and what you are a year ago is definitely better then comparing yourself to other people. :o)

Perhaps I should do that for myself. Sit down in a quiet place and think about all the things that I've done in this year. Talk to my inner self and feel good about it. After that, it's time to move on. As for me, before you started this discussion, my moment was that, before the New Year, I would think about previous years, how I celebrated it, I thought of all the happy things, especially in high school and I would then feel good. But your idea was a good idea and I think I should really think about it when New Year's Eve arrives.

Thank you! I just thought that we tend to give thanks to all the tangible gifts that we receives, but we fail sometimes to give thanks to our inner self who would always endure the challenges of our daily existence.
You are in the right track of recollection in every year because that is also needed to set our goals for the coming year, it will re assess our skills.

I sit down and reflect on just who I am. For all of the troubles that I can have and all of the struggles, I really would not change a thing about myself. I tend to think of all of the positive things in my life and how it effects me. Also, I tend to really try and figure out what is going well in my life and realize that I would not be in this position if I were not me.

I do that. I always sit down and talk to myself specially when new year is about to arrive. I think about the accomplishments i made for the year then write new goals on my journal for the coming year. It quites help me to be focused on my goals and strive harder to make my life better.
