Reviewing your plan through the year

Your mental health changes with the seasons of your life: exam periods, job searches, moving cities, starting a new job, family events. A plan that works in a calm month may not be enough in a hard one. Put a review in your calendar every two or three months, and before any period you know will be stressful.

Ask: which habits held, which slipped, did I notice my warning signs in time, and did I contact anyone? Add what you learned. If you have been in therapy, keep using the skills after it ends, and know that returning for more support later is normal, not a failure.
