Is New Year, New Me Really That Simple?
As we begin a new year, it’s common to hear the phrase “New Year, New You.” While it’s exciting to think about the possibilities for growth and change, it can also be daunting to set and keep resolutions. Sometimes, the pressure to make a resolution can feel like pressure to change who you are as a person in a fundamental way.
It’s important to remember that setting goals for yourself can be a valuable aspect of self-improvement, but it’s also important to be kind and compassionate with yourself. Reflecting on who you are, and the direction of your life can be a positive thing, but it’s important to be mindful of the language we use and the pressure we may put on ourselves. Let’s work towards setting achievable goals, rather than expecting ourselves to fundamentally change overnight. And remember if you are feeling overwhelmed or down, that is natural and it’s always good to seek help from a counsellor or therapist.
