BEAT THE POST-HOLIDAYS BLUES
At this time of year most people have enjoyed at least a little time off work, so why are so many of us shuffling through office corridors with hangdog expressions, or moping about our desks looking as if we'd rather die than be here, at our jobs?
The post-holiday blues might not (yet) be a recognized syndrome but it is something that darkens the month of January for most of us. It's a normal thing.
As we wait patiently for the lighter, brighter days of Spring to arrive, here are some tips to help make it easier.
1. Find things to look forward to - Incorporate at least one fun activity into your week
2. Change your thinking - Some people are more prone to feeling down after our holidays than others. It's a matter of working out how to tweak your attitude with positive self-talk.
3. Look after yourself- Holidays often involve a lot of excess, which is generally unhealthy for us, and our routines are also compromised. Get back on track. Get enough sleep, eat well, get into an exercise routine.
4. Avoid setting resolutions....Yes, you read correctly. Resolutions are almost always doomed to failure. Set realistic, achievable goals instead.
The post-holidays blues are most often just a period of adjustment while you reacquaint yourself with your day-to-day life :)
