January 1 is not only the start of the New Year, but is when many begin their New Year’s Resolutions. Manage stress. Eat healthier. Exercise more. Spend more time with family. Sticking to your resolutions and making changes can be difficult but not impossible. "A new year is a great time to think about the changes we want to make in our lives. Being and staying well is a resolution many people make for the New Year, but those resolutions can lead to frustration when we find we have set unrealistic goals," says Dr. Philip R. Muskin, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) offers tips that help keep resolutions for a healthy mind and healthy life.
