| | | Q | | What was the best change you made to support your mental well-being this year? | | | | A | | "I started taking better care of my physical health by working out more often. I was living a pretty sedentary life with minimal exercise. I signed up for Pilates classes in July, and I've been going ever since. It's been helping me feel better physically, but it's also done wonders for my mental health. The mind-body link is real!" — Morgan Mandriota, newsletter editor
"I set a boundary for myself. Not as a fence to keep people out or an excuse to say no to things, but a way to communicate what your standards are, and what you need to feel free, safe, and loved. With this in mind, I prayed about and got clarity on a new boundary for myself for 2025 and forward: I only entertain what glorifies God, what is true, and what preserves my peace." — Kristin Currin-Sheehan, editor
"I started going to therapy again! It's something I've avoided for a long time due to a bad experience in the past, but it's been really helpful for my anxiety." — Sarah Choi, associate editor
"I've mentioned this before, but I started going to the gym this year, and I'm really proud of myself for sticking with it. Working from home and sitting at a desk all day can leave me feeling tense and stiff, and it can get a bit isolating, too. Going to the gym at the end of the workday has genuinely become something I look forward to. During a class, I can feel the stress and tension melt away, and I always leave feeling calmer and more energized." — Chloe Szilagyi, editor
"It's still a journey, but putting my phone down more and limiting my online time, particularly on social media. It's a shame that sometimes means missing out on social updates, like stuff going on with friends, but for me it's been helpful. It's tough to wade through online content to find the good stuff, and I find generally avoiding it, or finding alternatives, has been a healthy move." — Alice Porter, editor
"I tend to ruminate on mistakes or things that I've said, or should've or shouldn't have said. Telling myself that I can't change the past and that whatever will be, will be has helped. Instead of lingering on the past, I'm trying to look ahead." — Sarah Matysiak, associate editor | | | | | |
