The New Year

- What challenges do I expect to face this year?
- How might I best prepare for the challenges that I expect to face?
- What do I hope to improve in my life?
- What are my strengths?
- Considering my physical health, what are my strengths? Weaknesses?
- Considering my mental health, my state of mind, what are my strengths? Weaknesses?
