The pandemic, financial fears, political protests, and election season have challenged us and reminded us to count our blessings. Many of these experiences we unimaginable when we set our intentions a year ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if hindsight is \u201c20\/20\u201d, let\u2019s use our shared experiences to employ the wisdom gained.&nbsp;Our tumultuous year isn\u2019t just a memory to shelve. 2020 is a reminder to ensure we are kinder to ourselves and more considerate of each other going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What should we resolve? The following commitments might be a good start:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/new-year-resolution\/?tp_image_id=5316\" data-pin-nopin=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Blog-pics-8.png?resize=225%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"New year resolutions of compassion, tolerance, patience, and passion.\" class=\"wp-image-5316\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Blog-pics-8.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Blog-pics-8.png?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Blog-pics-8.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Blog-pics-8.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Blog-pics-8.png?resize=75%2C75&amp;ssl=1 75w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Blog-pics-8.png?resize=960%2C960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Blog-pics-8.png?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><em><strong>Compassion<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0for ourselves when we mess up.<\/li><li><em><strong>Patience<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0with ourselves and our children who are struggling to figure out a weird academic year.<\/li><li><strong><em>Tolerance<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>for others who look, think, believe, voted, or love differently than we do.<\/li><li><em><strong>Passion<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0to right injustices that we come across in our daily lives.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve stuck close to home these many months, we know that we may not be able to change our state or country on the whole. But most of us can see our own homes, families, and neighborhoods with a bit more clarity. Thus, it makes sense that our new resolutions address the needs of our inner selves and those inside our circle. When we plant seeds there, our greater communities can only benefit and bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So, what would executing your resolution look like?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To set and successfully reach your New Year\u2019s goal is as much a matter of measurable achievement as it is a matter of big picture vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can we create measurable goals as that support our mental\/emotional health?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Break down big concepts first. Ask yourself how you can break down your aims into measurable\/observable goals. For example, you can set about achieving your weight loss goals with a daily objective like, \u201cI\u2019m going to work out for 45 minutes a day for&nbsp; at least 4 days every week.\u201d Before you know it, you feel better, habits are established, and the weight is no longer an immovable obstacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/new-year-resolution\/?tp_image_id=5317\" data-pin-nopin=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Applecart-Templates-2.png?resize=150%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Measurable goals\" class=\"wp-image-5317\" width=\"150\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Applecart-Templates-2.png?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Applecart-Templates-2.png?resize=100%2C150&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Applecart-Templates-2.png?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The same principle applies to the emotional burdens you want to shed and the healthy emotional muscles you want to build. Make your vision manageable by scaling down the pressure of big changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Let\u2019s say you want to be more <strong>compassionate<\/strong> towards yourself. What does that look and sound like?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you\u2019ve heard that self-talk is essential for cultivating a kinder relationship with yourself. If that\u2019s the case, perhaps you could break down the goal by challenging your mirror every morning. If you start the day with an \u201cugh\u201d or otherwise unkind thought or inner critique of your face, body, or abilities, the bathroom mirror is a good starting place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put a word of encouragement there or repeat a loving prayer or mantra every morning. Speak praises and smile. Acknowledge your own presence and imperfections. Appreciate your own willingness to tackle another day, no matter what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Perhaps being more <strong>patient<\/strong> with your children really resonates as New Year\u2019s goal. What does being patient feel like to you? How do you want your children to hear and see you?\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, your observable smaller objectives will be both internal and interactive. You might start with a commitment to pause first, followed up with a pledge to keep your voice calm and even. Practically, this might look like an intentional, 10 second period of deep breathing when misbehavior occurs. Then, you can finish up with a quiet, controlled interaction.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Does a heartfelt desire for more <strong>tolerance<\/strong> towards others feel very important right now? What are you willing to do to foster a more open mind?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps, something as simple as spending 30 minutes a week reading an article or listening to a TedTalk might be wise.  Consider listening to one by a person with a view that challenges your own. This might be a manageable way to start hearing and tolerating others without shutting down or feeling defensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Passion<\/strong> can be a hard thing to cultivate when you\u2019re worn down by a year of pandemic anxiety. What measurable steps can you take routinely to support or bring awareness a meaningful cause?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A favorable option might be to budget $25 a month to donate to a charity you feel strongly about. Alternatively, you could donate your time volunteering for such a cause, such as a couple hours a week.  When you do so, share your goal and progress with family, friends, and neighbors. In a small, but purposeful, way you can fan the flames of your passion. Furthermore, the dialogue you open may fuel a heart for the cause in someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take On the New Year As Healthy &amp; Whole as Possible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, 2020 is coming to a close. If you feel you could use a bit of help shaping your thoughts and goals, you aren\u2019t alone. As hope and promise rise again, give yourself the gifts of guidance and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sessions with a therapist can be an important way to reflect and plan ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know how stressful and demanding it can be to make changes in your life, but you don\u2019t have to figure it out on your own. &nbsp;&nbsp;Some of the benefits of individual therapy include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Having a safe, confidential space to work through life\u2019s struggles<\/li><li>Speaking openly with a highly-trained professional <\/li><li>Learning to be curious about oneself and become more mindful about your choices<\/li><li>Identifying relationship patterns that are helpful, or existing patterns that are interfering with your growth and wellbeing.<\/li><li>I offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/what-is-online-counseling\/\"><strong>online therapy<\/strong><\/a> (video conference style of therapy), which provides an increased level of comfort as you could meet with me from the privacy and comfort of your own home or other location.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">You can request a specific appointment time that fits your schedule.
