Happy New Year!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the expectation to create a ‘new you’ in the next few days, consider these alternatives 👆

It’s okay to kick off the New Year refreshed and energized, just like it’s okay to take a moment to turn inward and celebrate who you are right now.

Five ways to prioritize your mental health this ho

Five ways to prioritize your mental health this holiday season:

1. It's okay to say "No" to social engagements if you're feeling overwhelmed.
2. If you're not in the holiday spirit, you don't need to force yourself to celebrate.
3. Write a gratitude list, especially if you're feeling like there's a lot on your plate.
4. Manage your time and to-do list realistically, don't overdo it!
5. Take care of your physical needs by remembering to exercise and eat well (that's not to say we want you missing out on all the holiday cookies, but don't forget to eat regular, balanced meals, too!)
