Have you looked at your bucket list or yearly goal and think...."I haven't accomplished anything"
Well a great Buddhist philosopher once said, You are the director, writer and actor of your life...your history.
Sometimes we don't give ourselves enough credit on what we have done thus far so I encourage you to list all the things you have accomplished throughout your life.
A Reverse Bucket list or List of Accomplishments:
List all the things you've ever done in your life. It's so important to pat yourself on the back for all the great things you've done no matter how small because we tend see what we haven't accomplished/did yet versus what we have. It's counter productive to living your best life if you feel like you're not, so this is a good exercise towards wrapping up the end of the year or you can go back further from the beginning of your life.
Don't believe me? Here's an article from fast company stating that "Reverse Bucket List" makes you happier.
Here are a few of mines and to categorize them and if you remember the date or year, include those as well.
