Mental Health Moments: Mental Health Habits I Plan to Take With Me in 2021

I learned so much about myself in 2020, and I am still unpacking that internal wisdom as I craft my internal annual report’s year-in-review letter and writing in my journal. One thing is certain, though: I will never be the same person I was when the new year began. So much has shaped me individually, professionally, and collectively with everyone else on Earth. I already shared five lessons I learned in 2020 in a previous blog post. Here are a few elements of 2020 that I plan to carry with me in 2021.

Five Lessons I Learned in 2020

On some personal aspects, however, I am not so clear. (Planning everything in great detail would be boring, would it not, my fellow perfectionists?) Here are some ways you can start setting goals for this new decade.

Five Lessons I Learned in 2019

2019 was an up-and-down rollercoaster ride. With each success, a failure appeared to meet its match. Overall, throughout layers of silver linings, I see 2019 for what it is: a season of recalibration and resilience. I’ve released deeply personal writings that have revealed next-level heartbreaks. I’ve worked with amazing clients and partners. I’ve been desk dwelling too much and not exercising enough. I’ve created some business items that I am immensely proud of, and there’s more where that came from.

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things: 2019 Edition

December is a natural time to reflect on the entire year and what worked and what didn’t really benefit us. Our favorite items have been there throughout all of the noise of the collections of our successes and missteps, our should-have-beens and golden-star moments. I wanted to share some life hacks, favorites, and all sorts of fun thoughts swimming around in my head along with that Christmas clutter.
