If your mojo (and bank balance) are depleted now Christmas is over and you’re already dreading January – fear not. Here are 10 easy ideas for a quick mood-boost to help keep your spirits up until February…
1. Make a few fun plans“Many of us feel exhausted before the new year has even started, because our body can already energetically predict what to expect,” says international speaker and life coach Simon Alexander Ong, bestselling author of Energize. “Cold, dark days with no more Christmas lights up to give us those dopamine hits; returning to work and [busy] routines; the pressures that can come with the beginning of a new year… To make January more energising, inject some fun and novelty into it, so that you have something to look forward to. Even better if the experience is something you haven’t done before, as not knowing what to expect will make it more enjoyable.”
