What are your mental health resolutions for 2021?
Hello hello hello lovely community! I hope you are all doing well, and I hope everyone who celebrated had a good holiday. 
Often at the end of the year, we begin discussing resolutions for the upcoming new year, a change, decision, habit, or promise we hope to incorporate into our lives. For many people, New Year's Resolutions can be very helpful and can help them get one step closer to their best self.
Today, I wanted to discuss mental health resolutions. 2020 no doubt has been a challenging year for so many, and it has been so important that we take care of ourselves, and make mental health a priority. Although the difficulties we faced this year will not magically disappear immediately in the new and we may not know what is in store for us in 2021, I hope we all can put our wellbeing first, and continue to make mental health a priority. As 2020 wraps up, I want to know, what are some of your mental health resolutions for the new year? These resolutions can be absolutely anything that helps improve your overall mental wellbeing, such as practicing more self-care, setting boundaries, taking up a hobby, etc. There is no "bad" resolution, your mental health resolution might look different from mine, and that is okay.
I am looking forward to hearing about your mental health resolutions! Thank you so much for participating in this post, and thank you for being a part of our 7 cups community. I hope that for each and every one of you, this upcoming new year is filled with joy, laughter, adventures, and happiness.

I love all these! Understanding yourself better, practicing self-love, distancing yourself from toxic people, doing what you love, and hoping your parents offer you the care and support you deserve sound like wonderful resolutions. I hope that all of these resolutions work out for you! Thank you so much for sharing, happy new year!

Just recognizing that you need to take care of yourself and cut yourself slack is a wonderful first step! Well done! Caring for every single person around us more than we care for ourselves can be emotionally draining like you described. You deserve all of the kindness and care you offer others. It's okay to take your time figuring out how to take care of yourself. I can't tell you how to do it, but I can tell you that you're not alone, we are 7 cups are all here for you, and believe in you. Thank you so much for sharing, happy new year!

What you described is something I can relate a lot to! Doing things solely for others can sometimes feel easier than doing things for ourselves, but once we start putting ourselves first it can feel so refreshing and powerful. Wishing you the best with your resolution, I hope in this upcoming year you can focus on yourself and offer yourself the care you deserve Happy new year, thank you for sharing!

I absolutely love your post!!! It can be devastating when we give our full trust to people, and they end up hurting us so deeply. Deciding to be the first one to leave can be really challenging. One thing that has helped me is learning that it is possible to forgive someone without going back to the same situation. Whatever happens with these people, 7 cups is always here for you.
I hear you! At times we can be our own worst critic. There's nothing wrong about being mindful of ourselves and actions, but when it turns into judging ourselves way more harshly than we might judge others or they may judge us, it can start to affect us very strongly. I admire how this year you will be trying to cut yourself some slack. Thank you so much for sharing, happy new year!
