Still need to make a few resolutions for 2023? It’s not too late!
In fact, there are many good New Year’s resolutions that can help support your mental wellness.
Let’s take a look at some examples.
10 New Year’s Resolutions to Support Your Mental Wellbeing
- Take any medication as directed
- Exercise regularly
- Get 7-9 hours of sleep each night (read: How Warm-Colored Lights Affect Your Sleep)
- Surround yourself with a supportive team
- Journal regularly (read: How Journaling Supports Mental Wellbeing)
- Eat nutrient-dense foods, especially fresh produce, lean protein, whole grains, and foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids
- Reach out for help if you need it
- Meditate or pray
- Listen to calming music (read: How Much Affects Mood)
- Set aside time to connect with friends or family
You don’t have to make any grandiose resolutions, especially if that will only add to your stress levels. Resolutions should be realistic goals that support your wellness — not detract from it. For example, if you find that “Journaling Daily” is too stressful, adapt your goal. Try journaling every other day or even simply once a week. Small steps can be a great way to create new habits!
