You're in that "Golden Week" sweet spot between Christmas and New Year's—congrats, you made it through 2025. While the world exhales, the pressure to "start fresh" can creep in quickly. In this episode, we explore what a healthy mindset truly means, and why it's not about toxic positivity or forcing a smile. Drawing from the World Health Organization's definition of mental well-being and Optum Health's framing that mental health is more than "feeling happy," we focus on resilience and balance. We'll also use Carol Dweck's "not yet" growth mindset tool and share five practical, long-lasting steps you can start today.
