Know what happens when you're a happier, more self-aware person? The people around you benefit. Take some time for just you and focus on self-love. What you'll find is that you are perfect just the way you are at this exact moment. I like to say we are all "perfectly imperfect". There's no such thing as "perfect" in the sense that there's nothing left to be done to be better, richer, happier, more mentally and physically fit, etc. We are continually evolving human beings, faults and all. And that's what makes us perfectly imperfect. 

Take this advice from someone who has no actual knowledge or expertise in this area. I just know what works for me.

The dawn of a new year often inspires reflection. While I’m not about to preach the “New Year, New You” mantra often churned out by gyms and wellness brands, there’s undeniable value in leveraging this time of transition to reassess personal and professional goals. A calendar flip may not redefine who you are, but it offers a chance to reframe how you present yourself to the world—especially if you’re a professional looking to make an impression.
