In a recent poll, it was discovered that a significant number of Americans are making mental health a key part of their New Year's resolutions. This trend shows a growing awareness of the importance of mental well-being. The survey indicates that 38% of Americans plan to include mental health in their resolutions for the upcoming year, which is a notable increase from the previous year. Experts are pleased to see this shift, especially among younger adults. They believe that small, intentional changes in daily habits can greatly improve overall well-being. These habits include regular exercise, mindfulness practices, getting enough sleep, spending time in nature, and seeking therapy.
While physical fitness and financial goals remain top priorities, mental health is gaining more attention. Other common resolutions include improving diet, focusing on social connections, and spiritual growth. However, many Americans are still struggling with anxiety, particularly about personal finances, uncertainty about the future, and current events. Looking back at the previous year, a majority of Americans rated their mental health as excellent or good. A smaller percentage felt their mental health was fair or poor. This shows that while progress is being made, there is still room for improvement. The survey included responses from over 2, 200 adults, providing a comprehensive look at the mental health landscape in the country.
