Find the Good in Things - Work on focusing on what’s good about a situation, how you can fix what’s not and motivate others around you. Also, be aware that when things don’t go your way, perhaps that because there is a bigger plan in motion. (Photo: Erik Isakson/Tetra Images/Corbis)

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff - Going 0 to 100 over spilled milk is silly — and isn’t good for your health. Recognize that not everything requires you to react so strongly. This year work on picking your battles and brushing trivial stuff right off your shoulders. (Photo: Thinkstock Images/Getty Images)

Block Out Toxic People and Things - Surrounding yourself with toxic and negative people can take its toll on your mental health and spirit by damaging your own self-esteem or encouraging you to be toxic as well. Recognize toxic people in your life, and if they refuse to get better, kick them to the curb.  (Photo: Grant Difford/Great Stock/Corbis)

See Your Greatness - Don’t spend another second beating yourself up for not being perfect. This year be your biggest cheerleader, but also love yourself enough to know when you need to work on yourself to achieve your full potential. (Photo: Hero Images/Getty Images)

Be Open to Professional Help - The notion that depression or mental illness is strictly a white person’s problem is a dangerous myth. One way to take control of your mental health is to know when it’s spiraling out of control. Also, if you are harboring past trauma and it's impacting your life, this is the year to work on it. Remember, seeing a therapist or talking it out doesn’t make you weak. Make this the year you no longer suffer in silence.(Photo: Getty Images/iStockphoto)

Be More Aware of What Your Triggers Are - It could be a smell, a look or an image that can sometimes set our emotions into a tailspin by reminding of us past trauma. Try being more aware of what those triggers are this year, so you can have more control of your feelings when they appear.  (Photo: JGI/Jamie Grill/Blend Images/Corbis)

Don’t Play the Victim as Much - Yes, the world isn’t always good to us, and we have every right to express our feelings about that mistreatment. If you always play the victim when things don’t go right or when you make a mistake, you miss out on a valuable opportunity to learn how to do things better. (Photo: Peathegee Inc/Blend Images/Corbis)

Give Yourself “Me” Time - For many of us, our lives are about working, taking care of kids and taking care of loved ones. This on-the-go routine can take a toll on our spirits, so this year make a vow to relax more and have more “me” time. This can be a game–changer.  (Photo: DragonImages/Getty Images)

Be More Mindful - Caring about other people — whether it’s helping your mom with the dishes or holding the door open for others — can do wonders for how you feel about yourself and your outlook on life. Also, live in the moment. Log off social media and go live your life.  (Photo: Monashee Frantz/Getty Images)

Exercise More - Did you know that when you exercise, your body releases endorphins, which are hormones that make you feel happier and calmer? Working out, whether it’s running, Zumba, yoga or dancing, can also keep you centered and focused.(Photo: Jeremy Woodhouse/Blend Images/Corbis)
