Set emotional health goals along with New Year’s Resolutions
04 Jan 2025 by Ted Escobedo 2 min read
Setting mental health goals involves identifying specific areas you want to improve in your wellbeing, then creating actionable, measurable goals that are achievable within a set timeframe, often using the "SMART" approach (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) to ensure progress and success; examples could include practicing mindfulness meditation daily, getting enough sleep consistently, or actively engaging in social activities to combat loneliness.
Here are some examples of mental health goals and easy ways to achieve them:
• Improve stress management: Practice deep breathing exercises for 10 minutes every morning for a month.
• Improve sleep habits: Establish a consistent bedtime routine and aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night.
• Improve Mindfulness: Meditate for 15 minutes daily to increase awareness of thoughts and feelings.
• Improve Social connections: Reach out to a friend or family member once a week to engage in meaningful conversation.
Improve Self-esteem: Write down three positive affirmations about yourself every day for a week.
