Yes, it’s the new year but yes, you are actually the same human. And honestly, I’m not here for the “new year, new you, even as a type A, box checking person that I am. Pressure that makes people feel broken by January 15 or before is not my vibe tbh.
Mental health doesn’t improve because you bought a journal, drank green juice, or suddenly became a morning person when you have always gone to bed at 11:30pm
It improves when life feels safer, steadier, and more enjoyable. These five tips aren’t flashy. They’re not trendy even but they do change how your brain copes with stress, mood, and overwhelm. Think less optimisation, more sustainability. Less fixing yourself, more supporting yourself.
Come back to this post on the days motivation disappears. Save it if you want. Honestly, if you stick to one or more of these this year. You may just experience a whole different year to the last.

PS- my nerdy, stat reading self needed to share…. Connection and community has been shown in clinical trials now to be the best for health outcomes above all else. X
