As the new year approaches, many of us set resolutions with the hope of bettering ourselves. However, in the rush to achieve tangible goals, we often overlook our mental health. This year, consider setting mindful resolutions focused on your mental well-being.
Mindful resolutions are not just about achieving specific outcomes, but also about cultivating a healthier mindset and approach to life. For instance, instead of a resolution to “lose weight,” consider a resolution to “nurture a healthier relationship with my body and food.”
If you’re looking to incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, a resolution might be to “challenge negative thought patterns daily” or “engage in mindfulness meditation for 10 minutes each day.” These goals focus on the process of improving mental health, rather than just the outcome.
Remember, the key to successful resolutions is not perfection, but progress. It's about making small, consistent changes that contribute to long-term mental well-being. So, this new year, set resolutions that honour not just what you do, but also who you are and how you feel. If you are interested in CBT or any of our psychological therapies, please reach out today. We are happy to offer a free 15-minute consultation.
