As we step into 2025, many of us are thinking about personal growth and positive change. Research from the American Psychological Association suggests that perseverance toward life goals can help fend off depression and anxiety.
The Challenge with Traditional Resolutions
Every January, millions of people set well-intentioned goals for their mental health. "I'll be less anxious." "I'll get my depression under control." "I'll have better relationships." Yet by February, many find themselves struggling to maintain momentum.
