Note: As part of my Day Program, I contribure to the program’s newsletter. In June 2021, that Newsletter transitoned to a monthly basis as much of the elements of the program are back to a in-person status.

New Year’s Resolution

I usually start off the new year with several resolutions. However, I am going to
focus on the one that is important for me: to continue to focus on my mental
health more by realizing when I need to take time to recharge my batteries and work on remembering to follow my medication regimen more stringently. If I somehow happen to miss a dose, I must recognize my need to get some
rest and take care of myself and not over prioritize it over the needs of my
other responsibilities. Losing weight is always a resolution for me too with
plans for a 5K in my town on April 16th. Finally, the need to be more spiritual is
another plan I have to bettering myself this year and I hope I continue to do all
these things while remaining as healthy and remaining cognizant of the COVID-19 pandemic.
