Got the January Blues?
Try these tips to help cope!
- Monitor your social meter. You can keep your social needs met by keeping up with close friends through coffee dates, luncheons, and even volunteer work.
- Get some sunlight. Try to get outside every day to get fresh air and sunshine to counteract the shorter, darker days.
- Reduce your social media use. Social media can be a wonderful place of connection and community, but it can also promote unhealthy mindsets and culture. Consider unplugging and reading a book instead!
- Plan something to look forward to. This can be a social event, like a game night for friends, or it can be a solo trip, like visiting your favorite bookstore and coffee shop.
- Realize that it is ok to have low moods sometimes. Reframing this time of year as a time for rest and reflection can be restorative.
