Hey y'all, in this episode of Samantha's Beauty Confessions, I'm diving deep into the art of self-reflection as we approach 2024. It's been a year of highs and lows, and I've learned so much about appreciating my journey, both professionally and personally. I'm sharing this intimate conversation with you, hoping it'll inspire y'all in your own reflections.

First, let's talk about the pressure of the New Year. I admit, I'm not the biggest fan of New Year's because it often brings anxiety and a sense of overwhelm. This feeling, I realized, comes mainly from social media, where everyone's sharing their resolutions and achievements, making me feel like I'm not doing enough. But here's the thing, y'all – we don't need to fall into that trap. This episode is about breaking free from that cycle and learning to appreciate our own pace and achievements.

Now, onto my number one tip for self-appreciation: give yourself the proper amount of time to reflect on the entire year. It's not just about a quick review on December 31st. I've been setting aside a little time each day to remember everything that happened throughout the year. It's shocking how much we forget! When I first tried to recall my achievements, I drew a blank. But, by looking back at photos and notes, I realized I'd accomplished so much more than I gave myself credit for.

One powerful method I found helpful is scrolling through my phone's photos, starting from January. It's amazing to relive those moments and see how far I've come. I encourage y'all to try this – you'll be surprised at the memories and achievements you've overlooked. It's not just about the big milestones; it's about those small, joyful moments that brought happiness throughout the year.

So, as we wrap up 2023, I urge you to make a list of things you want to remember as the new year approaches. It's not overwhelming; just take it month by month. Reflecting on these memories brings immense joy and a sense of pride. And hey, don't forget to tag me if you share your lists online. I'd love to see your accomplishments and support you.

Have an amazing week, and talk to you soon!
