An important part of any focusing regimen is to set aside time at the end of the day - just before going to sleep - to acknowledge your successes, review your goals, focus on your successful future, and make specific plans for what you want to accomplish the next day.

Self-acknowledgment and appreciation are what give you the insights and awareness to move forward toward higher goals and accomplishments.
