I had a brief low moment last night when I worked out that my CC debt free date is still the same as it was at the start of the year. But then I reminded myself that I have cleared £900 of overdraft and overpaid my loan by about £300. I'll be focussing on the CC balance from the start of 2026. 
Why are we so primed to notice the stuff we've not done well at? It's a real effort to keep the good stuff in mind. 

I think its because our brains are wired to only briefly celebrate achievements and then we are onto the next goal!

I think because it's far 'easier' for us to look at the negatives rather than the positives, we're not good (well I'm not) at seeing what good we have done. For example in work, I could have 100's of positive interactions, which I think nothing of, yet if i were to have a negative one, I would stew over it for days. You're doing fab and just look at how much you have achieved this past year. ⭐
