Now the day is over; The year is drawing near.

How is our mental health doing as the year 2022 draws to a close? One nearly tastes the smell of the end of the year, which you either love or detest. There is always a surge of unfavourable news and the loss of life, along with the adult question, “Have I done enough?” While the air remains arid with the chilly tanginess of the Sahara.

Usually, at the beginning of the year, we have goals that we set out to accomplish. Whether or not we were successful in achieving all of our goals, the end of the year shouldn’t fill you with dread and hopelessness.

A fantastic technique to fill your conscious thoughts is journaling. Make a list of the things for which you are thankful this year before deciding that it was a horrible year all around.

Allow yourself to act like a child

Review and plan

It’s the end of a year not the end of the world. Go back to the drawing, and think about ways you can improve your goal, and new ways to work smarter and achieve better. The aim is continuous development, so never stop growing
