Five ways to overcome post holiday depression

Now that the vacation is over, many of you may be in the category of "depressive atrial fibrillation" because there is nothing to look forward to. The post holiday blues are never fun, but there are ways to get yourself back on track instead of indulging in the lazy potato mode for a week and a half! There's no doubt that 2016 was terrible, so it's a brand new year, and it's time to recharge and focus! Here are five ways to overcome post holiday depression:

1. Cultivate a new hobby. Has there ever been something you always wanted to do, but you always put it off for unknown reasons? It's time to get up and do it! In addition, after working for a week, there is nothing better than taking your newly found hobbies to relax on weekends!

2。 Do something that makes you feel satisfied and excited! I recently received a turntable as a Christmas gift. When I collected my favorite album with vinyl, it made me very happy / busy. Find something that makes you smile and enjoy yourself!

3。 Make healthier choices. I think it is certain that we are all exhausted during the holiday. From Halloween's endless candy to Thanksgiving to Christmas's delicious homemade food and candy - let alone new year's parties - calories are not a problem at all during the holiday season. It's no big deal. Make a plan to eat healthier this year. Your body will thank you.

4。 Plan ahead. Set the goals you want to achieve by the end of the year, and do what you can to achieve them! They don't have to be big. Start small and work hard. Looking for new opportunities for personal and professional development. It's easy to feel stuck, especially if you've been at the same job for a long time. Remember: no goal is too big to achieve.

5。 Treat yourself well! Well, I know I said I'd like to eat healthier, but it's OK to eat something occasionally. For me, a perfect treat day includes a dark chocolate cake and a record store Carnival Maybe some new clothes start my wardrobe in 2017! Whatever brings you comfort, enjoy it! Life is too short to miss
