New Year is An Opportunity to Set Goals for Better Mental Health
If you struggle with depression or other mental illnesses, the new year is a great opportunity to set goals for better mental health. Setting resolutions can bring a sense of hope to the coming year, but it can also be disappointing. Set goals that are reasonable and achievable. Don’t set yourself up for failure. Here are some good examples: Surround yourself with people who make you happy and begin to cut ties to those who do not; bring your focus to what you can control in your own life; ask for help when you need it; and get professional mental health treatment. These are resolutions you can manage. When you meet them, it will boost your self-esteem and help you realize how much control you have in your life.
