This month, we have been discussing whether setting New Year’s resolutions is a good idea for those suffering from depressive disorders. We have determined there are indeed pros and cons. The key is to approach it with compassion for self and flexiblibility. Here are some tips on setting meaningful, realistic goals for yourself, regardless of the time of year:
* Start small: Focus on one or two achievable goals that align with your current mental state. It’s better to set smaller, realistic goals that you can gradually build on rather than overwhelming yourself with a long list of changes.
* Be kind to yourself: If you experience setbacks, try to avoid negative self-talk. Remember that healing and growth are non-linear processes, and setbacks don’t define your worth.
* Focus on process, not outcomes: Rather than tying your resolution to a specific outcome, make your goal about the process. For example, instead of setting a resolution to “lose 20 pounds,” focus on making healthy choices each day or moving your body in ways that feel good.
* Build support: Share your goals with a trusted friend, therapist, or support group. They can offer encouragement and accountability, making the journey feel less isolating
