New Year, New Mental Health Journey
How to start 2026 with a healthier mindset
The start of a new year often comes with the pressure to change everything at once. New routines, big goals, and high expectations. But if you are living with depression, simply getting through the day can already feel like a significant accomplishment. A new year doesn’t mean you have to re-invent yourself.
This year, consider making your mental health a priority. This doesn’t have to mean significant life changes, but through small steps that support how you feel right now. If your current treatment plan for your depression has not brought the relief you need, explore new treatment options.
Write an "Ins and Outs" List
An “Ins and outs” list is a simple way to reflect on your habits, mindsets, and priorities. This will help you evaluate what you would like to invite into your life and identify unhealthy habits that are negatively impacting your wellbeing.
- Ins: Habits, thoughts, or practices you want to bring into 2026 or continue doing because they support your wellbeing.
- Outs: Habits, beliefs, or behaviors that negatively affect your mental health and no longer serve you.
Re-evaluate Your Current Treatment
Mental health care is not one-size-fits-all. What has worked in the past may not be enough now, and that is okay. If antidepressants or talk therapy have not fully helped, or if symptoms or medication side effects continue to interfere with daily life, it may be time to consider additional treatment options.
Build a "Mental Health Menu"
A mental health menu is a short list of healthy ways to support your mood that you can rely on when things feel hard. These options can help you cope without turning to unhealthy behaviors. Even small actions can help regulate our nervous system.
