Hello 2025! Coming into the New Year, many people like to set new resolutions for yourself as you now have a fresh start to the year. These resolutions can be big or small: they can help you achieve a goal you have wanted to reach for a while or make a change that will bring you joy day-to-day.
Resolutions are a great way to keep account of yourself, ensuring that you will keep a clear and collective mindset. You can devote yourself to one main resolution or to a whole list of small ones- it is all up to you!
Here are five resolutions that could be inspiration in this upcoming year!
Social Media Break
With social media, you are constantly surrounded by streams of knowledge that can be extremely overwhelming and stimulating in large increments. This is why people many choose to take a break from social media or even monitoring it daily. You could also think about making sure the people you follow on social media are only people that make you feel good and positive.
Journaling
Journaling is a great way to clear your mind. Some people like to journal first thing in the morning or at the end of the day. Some people write one sentence a day, and others write pages. You can make a resolution to write once a day or once a week. No matter how your journal, many people find journaling improves their mental health.
Embrace Change
Change is a constant especially for people our age. Opposing change can be strenuous and tedious, especially as it is unavoidable. Although this resolution cannot be accomplished in increments, it serves as an important reminder you need to remember throughout the year, to embrace the year to its fullest potential!
Treat yourself
One of the best ways to improve your mental health is by recognizing all the good you have done by rewarding yourself. Remind yourself that you need a break once in a while. Find ways to treat yourself- maybe it is taking a break, reading a good book, watching your favorite show, or getting a sweet treat.
Visit a clinic or get free condoms
Visit a clinic to get birth control, STI testing and treatment, pregnancy testing, or learn more about your health. You can find a clinic near you for FREE and confidential services! Condoms help prevent pregnancy AND STIs! You can find free condoms to have on hand for when you or a friend need them.
In the end, these resolutions should not make you feel stressed, but instead bring you to a focused achievement. Just remember, these goals should be measurable and realistic for you. Wherever or whatever you do in 2025, make sure that it is the best representation of what fits for you and what encapsulates you!
