Post-holiday blues
For those of you who are saddened by the jolt back into reality, here are some tips I found on the web which are supposed to help you get over your holiday blues:
- Leave out some decorations around the house as a reminder of the
christmas / new year celebration
- Put together a holiday picture album
- Play upbeat music in the background while at work and at home
- Spend time with people to avoid feeling lonely
- Volunteer with a local charity, school, or other organization
- You-time: get a massage, take time to read, enjoy some quiet time, take a bubble bath
- Don't take a holiday to begin with
Maybe taking some "you-time" or volunteering can help, but honestly the rest just seems like denial ! What always works for me is to have my next holiday planned, even if it's a very short one. it's something to look forward to.
