New Year, New Me?”
Have you heard this phrase everywhere lately?
As a Psych NP, I want to gently remind you that the pressure to reinvent yourself at the start of the year can quietly increase anxiety, self-doubt, and burnout. You are not behind. You are not broken. And you do not need to become someone else to be worthy of care and growth.
This post is here to help you enter the New Year with compassion, not pressure.
Let’s choose gentle progress, realistic goals, and a kinder relationship with ourselves.
