furniture? Is this a growing trend today, if so why? 2. Why is
it important to very carefully pick the right furniture for your

here - including comfort, convenience, appearance, durability,

theater room/TV room and why? How would you place/arrange the

efficiency? 5. What reasonable expectations should homeowners
have regarding the lifespan of TV room/home theater room
furniture? How often is this type of furniture typically
replaced and why? 6. What low to high budget range should

31) Summary: Mental Health Experts: Updated New Year's Resolutions

Name: Julia Malacoff InStyle

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-bnyn@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: InStyle

Deadline: 9:00 AM EST - 15 December

Query:

I've previously covered the psychology of why New Year's
resolutions often fail, and this year I'm doing another story on
resolutions, but it'll be focused on actions you can take that
are actually worth making, are a bit outside the box, and could
really improve your life/mental health.

For instance: finally stop social media stalking your ex, do a
social media cleanse (unfollow everyone who makes you feel
less-than), agree that you won't go on a restrictive new
year/new body diet ever again, get a therapist, buy clothes that
you love that fit now instead of hoping to fit into old small
ones, only do exercise that you actually enjoy, etc.

I'm looking for "resolution" suggestions from mental health
professionals (and other qualified experts) that go directly
against the typical diet/workout/financial resolutions (and they
can be a bit cheeky) but that could really help a person live a
better life in some way.

Requirements:

Please send: 1. Your "resolution" suggestion(s) 2. Why/how they
can benefit people and any tips you have for putting them into
practice. I may follow up with additional questions.
