How to Make the Most of New Year Resolutions and Intentions
Reflecting on her successes over the past year – and even the things she maintained without improving – helped her feel more competent and ready for the next challenge. She needed to continue choosing her own healing, even when it was hard or it didn’t seem like she was going anywhere. That perseverance is a strength in itself. Author: Lindsay Hall, MSW

Benefits of Reflection & Gratitude
Ultimately, the end of the year can be full of excitement and nerves in anticipation for the new year to come. It’s a great chance to envision what you want this next chapter of your life to look like. Once you feel you have reflected enough, feel free to close the door of 2021 and open the new door to 2022 and begin working towards your new goals.

Charlie Brown and Resilience
Resilient people show up to try again, with the hope that this time there will be a more favorable outcome. They have yet to succeed, but they continue to try, and that’s resilience. Author: Jacob Chmara, MA, TLLP
