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 feel like you wrote your post beautifully. Trying to achieve perfection is something I can definitely relate to, and with all the standards and expectations around us, it can become easy to get caught up in the pressure. I admire how this year you will continue to work on self love, growth, and acceptance. I also love how you used the words "work on," I feel like that highlights how all those things above are a process and do not happen all at once. Thank you so much for sharing! I am wishing you the very best with your resolutions, happy new year!

Beautifully said! I agree, a lot of us can be hard on ourselves and criticize ourselves for things that happened in the past. I especially love your last sentence, mistakes can definitely help us learn and grow. Sometimes when I find me berating myself for something I have done in the past, I try to remember "I was doing the best I can with the tools and knowledge I had at that time." Thank you so much for sharing! Best of luck with your resolution, and a very happy new year!

Panic attacks can be incredibly scary and it is understandable to be scared of them. I can see why you would want a resolution to try and be less scared of the panic attacks. I hope you can find a way to cope with your panic attacks more so you can feel less scared. 7 cups has got your back, if you want to talk, feel free to reach out through more of these forums, group chats, or one-one chats with listeners. Thank you for participating in this activity, happy new year!
