Unrealistic New Year’s resolutions will only multiply the angst we feel, according to Dr. Susan Anders in a WYKC interview

 “’This has been a very hard year for people and often when we make significant or extreme behavior changes, that adds a lot of pressure and stress. That raises our cortisol level.

“’When we think too far into the future that raises our anxiety… Instead, focus on the process goal. These are things that you can write down and do every day that you do have control over… that’s going to lead to that outcome goal. Just make sure to make your mental health a priority this year. Put that on the resolution list [as] something you can do to take care of yourself.’” (Ujek, 2020
