New Year, New You?

As we usher in the New Year, it's important to remember that every day is an opportunity to improve yourself. So many of us make resolutions at this time of year—and while they're great and all, they can be hard to keep up with. Instead of just resolving to get more exercise or work on your finances, why not resolve to improve your mental health?

Here are some tips for starting off your year right:

1. Make a list of things you want to do for yourself. This could include taking time for self-care activities like reading a book or meditating, or even just giving yourself permission to take breaks from your workday and relax!
2. Find some ways to be more social this winter season (yes, there will be plenty of time for hibernating later). Plan some events with friends or family members, or go out by yourself once in awhile. You'll feel less lonely and more connected when you do so.
3. Take time each day to meditate and relax your mind. This will help you focus on what you want out of life, rather than being distracted by other things that might be going on around you.
4. Find ways to exercise regularly (even if it's just walking). Exercise can reduce stress levels and help you sleep better at night, which will in turn help reduce anxiety levels as well.
5. Make time each day for fun activities like reading or painting—whatever it may be that makes you happy! It's important not only for self-care purposes but also because it helps keep your mind healthy so that when it comes time do something else (like studying), it won't feel like such an uphill battle
